EC54B:
Carbon Fluxes in Coastal Environments: Research and Education Posters


Session ID#: 9465

Session Description:
Coastal ecosystems are highly productive, dynamic systems that provide critical ecosystem services to human populations. Because these systems are increasingly threatened by a myriad of anthropogenic activities, it is imperative that we develop that capacity to predict the impacts of present-day activities and the benefits of future management strategies.  Carbon fluxes across interfaces such as air-water, land-ocean, and sediment-water need to be better understood, and their significance better communicated to the public, NGOs and government resource managers. Resilience to ocean acidification, carbon sequestration potential, and amelioration of storm-induced sediment transport are just a few examples highlighting the importance of current coastal carbon research. This session invites papers exploring the measurement, modeling, or prediction of carbon fluxes in coastal areas as well as papers describing education and outreach efforts regarding carbon cycling or carbon markets in coastal zones.
