Workshop on Gulf of Mexico hypoxia and acidification in 2017 : data and processes


Session ID#: 40073

Session Description:
According to the data released by NOAA (Rabalais, 2017), 2017 showed the largest surface area of hypoxia ever recorded in the Northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM). Three different cruises occured during the onset of hypoxia in the months of July-August which investigated different aspects of hypoxia and acidifiation in the coastal waters of the NGOM. Scientific work was carried out in the pelagic and benthic realm, therefore bridging a gap in the necessary coupling between these two compartments.

The workshop aims at (i) cross-presenting the preliminary data collected during these three cruises (ii) discussing the impact of hypoxia on water acidification and the response of surficial sediments to these stressors, (iii) synthesizing our common ideas for future actions
