Working Group 33: Joint PICES / ICES Working Group on Climate Change and Biologically-driven Ocean Carbon Sequestration
Terms of Reference
  1. Document and identify current knowledge about biologically-driven carbon pumps.
  2. Compare current approaches and develop standardized protocols for measuring and reporting key parameters and variables during field studies and laboratory experiments on biologically-driven ocean carbon sequestration.
  3. Promote international collaboration for developing new experimental approaches and facilities.
  4. Integrate results from laboratory and field studies into numerical modeling for forecasting biologically-driven ocean carbon sequestration in the contemporary and future ocean.
  5. Hold annual workshops and business meetings at PICES, ICES or both organizations annual meetings.
  6. Organize a theme session within a science symposium in year 3  (ca. 2018-19 timeframe) to present, discuss and publish forecasts of the effects of climate change on biologically-driven ocean carbon sequestration; The Fourth Climate Effects on the World's Oceans Symposium, tentatively planned for 2018 might be a good venue.  Produce a special issue of a scientific journal based on the theme session, or contribute multiple papers to the Symposium special issue.
  7. Provide scientific advice to international organizations such as IPCC that might aid in establishing climate policies.
  8. Publish a final report summarizing the results of the WG as a jointly published Scientific Report in both PICES and ICES.
