A consortium of institutions and organizations from Monterey, California has successfully bid to host the third symposium on The Ocean in a High-CO2 World in autumn 2012. The symposium aims to attract more than 300 of the world’s leading scientists to discuss the impacts of ocean acidification on marine organisms, ecosystems, and biogeochemical cycles. It will also cover socio-economic consequences of ocean acidification, including policy and management implications.

The objective for the post-doctorate fellow will be to further develop the zooplankton component of a coupled physical-biogeochemical model over the Bay of Biscay (www.previmer.org), to improve the estimation of trophic fluxes to fish. The existing model is based on a classical functional separation in two large size classes (micro and meso-zooplankton).
