The Ocean Deoxygenation Conference taking place in Kiel will deal primarily with the past, present and future state of oxygen in the ocean, as well as determining the impacts on biogeochemical cycles and ecosystems, amongst other topics. Some of the major themes the conference will cover include:
- Prediction and Monitoring
- Ecosystems Impacts
- Ventilation and Oxygen Supply
- Microbial Communities and their Impact on Biogeochemical Cycles in Oxygen Minimum Zones
- Major Upwelling Systems
- Physiological Effects of Oxygen and Interactions with Multiple Stressors
- Impacts on Fisheries / Socioeconomics
- Coastal Systems: From Understanding to Management
- Ocean Deoxygenation - how the Past can Inform the Future
- Biogeochemical Cycles: Feedbacks and Interactions
