At the 2008 Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Boston, the Consortium for Ocean Leadership is convening two scientific symposia. The symposia both relate recent results from paleoclimate investigations of the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) to modern systems.

Ocean Leadership Symposia:

Probing Arctic Regions: Linking Past Records, Present Effects, and Future Predictions: presentations from Kate Moran (University of Rhode Island), Henk Brinkhuis (Utrecht University), and Lloyd Keigwin (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institutions). Hynes Convention Center, Second Level, Room 208, Feb. 15, 2008, 10:30am-12:00pm.

Ocean Acidification and Carbon—Climate Connections: Lessons from the Geologic Past: presentations from Christina Ravelo (University of California, Santa Cruz), James Zachos (University of California, Santa Cruz), Mark Pagani (Yale University), and David Archer (University of Chicago). Hynes Convention Center, Third Level, Room 302, Feb. 15, 2008, 1:45pm-3:15pm.
