Oceans of Change

The oceans play an important role in the earth’s climate system, absorbing both heat and carbon  While these processes act to mitigate the effects of global warming, they are not without their own consequences. In this session, panelists will discuss some of the impacts on ocean circulation, sea level rise, ocean acidification, and marine life.  The panel will also explore how reductions in greenhouse gas emissions would help mitigate these effects.
