Abstract

Climate change is one of the main governmental and societal concerns of the current era. The cause, the emissions of huge quantities of carbon dioxide (CO2) by human activities during the industrial era, is accepted by the vast majority of scientists. One of the consequences of increased atmospheric CO2 is Ocean Acidification (OA). The seas absorb a significant proportion of the extra CO2 which reacts in water to increase acidity. This is slightly less well known, at least in the public domain, but is based on uncontroversial and highly accepted scientific understanding and recently verified by precise measurements of the oceans increasing acidity. So over the next few decades the oceans will be impacted by changing climate (increased temperature, changing circulation and mixing) and by increasing acidity. Here it gets complicated. Acidification is known to impact several different processes that are important in regulating the marine ecosystem and different species exhibit different sensitivities. Changing temperature and currents will cause the distributions of particular species to alter and modification of mixing rates (the stirring of the oceans waters) will impact the supply of essential nutrients. Further some physiological processes become more prone to acidity induced effects if those species are subject to increased temperature. The acidity (or carbonate system) of the oceans is also responsive to temperature and to terrestrial effects (changing rainfall or ice melt) that are likely to occur given global warming. In summary predicting the impact of high CO2 (climate and OA) on marine systems is a very complex question. Many scientific experiments and observational programmes are currently investigating how climate and acidity impact the marine system. However the only method we have for trying to synthesise the various impacts mentioned above and make predictions into the future are the development of mathematical models. Within this proposal our aims are to develop existing models that cover the shelf seas around the UK (which have huge resource benefits) and the Arctic region (which is imminently at risk to both climate change and OA) and improve our understanding and certainty of both the magnitude and timescale of impacts. The model system we will use incorporates hydrodynamics, marine chemistry and a representation of marine ecosystems and the processes that drive them, making it ideal to test the combined effects of climate and OA. The models will be forced by the latest and most accurate predictions of climate change and we will compare at least a high emissions scenario - which assumes that globally we do not restrict CO2 production, and a low emissions scenario - which assumes that globally significant steps will be taken to reduce CO2 production. Using information generated by experimental and observational programmes we will improve the description of acidity sensitive chemical and physiological processes in the model. By comparing hind-casts of the model system with observed data, we will establish the accuracy of the model and test uncertainty in individual processes or parameters by sensitivity analysis. We therefore aim to deliver not only predictions of future states but estimates of certainty. The improved understanding of impacts and timescales that this project will generate will be fed directly into the UK Government's advisory process and underpin the development of national and international mitigation and adaptation strategies.

Description The key findings of ROAM are that whilst global scale forecasts of ocean acidification chemistry under a variety of climate change scenarios are robust when integrated over large scales in space and time, the precise chemical changes to regional marine systems and the resulting impacts are extremely heterogeneous. There are two primary conclusions. 1) Studies using medium resolution earth system models will not provide adequate projections of impacts and 2) Adaptation to impacts will require a regional scale understanding, and may well require planning at local scales.

A further outcome from this study is that we are still lacking a sufficiently holistic understanding of impacts, both across the breadth of species, but also with respect to medium to long term biological adaption and micro-evolution potential.

We have shown how the impacts of OA and climate change are likely to be strongly interlinked even when simple response parameterisations are implemented and the combination of the effects can lead to complex results. OA could either exacerbate or compensate climate change impacts depending on season, area and process; this could occur either via direct interference of the two drivers (e.g. enhanced production due to OA could mitigate reduction of productivity due to climate change) but also via indirect feedback (e.g. the increased productivity in coastal area due to OA will lead to a reduced acidification in the same area). Furthermore, the effects of these global drivers can magnify along the trophic network, as shown for zooplankton: in particular changes in community composition could have important impacts on the whole trophic network, favouring one trophic pathway over others. The non-linear complex interactions among the different components of the ecosystem can also trigger unexpected responses (e.g. the local increase of zooplankton biomass despite a decrease in primary production). This underlines that an ecosystem and multi-driver approach to study global changes is necessary, because we demonstrated that single driver-process responses can be negated or exacerbated by feedbacks from another driver-process response or ecosystem feedback.
Exploitation Route This work shows that planning for environmental management in a high CO2 world will need to take account of local issues, a generic regional response would not necessarily be appropriate. Whilst we are a long way from being able to predict what exactly might happen under a given climate scenario, we can begin to identify the range of potential variability in future systems.

Description ROAM has enabled a first look at regional impacts of ocean acidification and climate change at regional scales, revealing a wealth of heterogeneity in impact caused by feedbacks between physical, chemical and ecosystem process, not revealed by global scale analysis. The outcomes of ROAM are impacting both policy and public awareness via contributions to the Marine Climate Change Impact Partnership reports (MCCIP 2013), by inputting to AVOID (1&2), contributing to the IPPC AR5 process and via programme wide contributions to COP19. ROAM has also contributed to the Global Ocean Acidification Observation Network programme and has contributed to the OA International Reference User Group based in Monaco. Finally outputs from the project were presented at a special meeting at the Royal Society in London to a mixed audience comprising journalists, government, academics, students and other stakeholders (e.g. aquaculture).

Title Model of benthic sensitivity to high CO2 
Description Marine systems may experience high levels of CO2 either as a result of Ocean Acidification or via leakage from geologically stored CO2. Ongoing research under both the OA and CCS research streams have allowed us to develop a prototype model that describes the response of both tolerant and sensitive benthic fauna as well as the recovery potential. The model is conceived as a sub-model of the ERSEM marine system model and is therefore able to place impacts in the context of resource levels, resource competition and predator - prey interactions. The model is currently being used to investigate CCS leakage scenarios and will shortly be applied to climate change / OA runs.
