MEL and Climate Change
Marine scientist, James Orr, talks about the impacts of global warming on the oceans and the about the work of the IAEA's Marine Environment Laboratories in Monaco to study climate change. He also discusses the ocean's role in taking up CO2 that is emitted into the atmosphere.
Ocean Acidification
As CO2 emissions into the atmosphere increase, acidity levels in the oceans - which absorb large amounts of this greenhouse gas - are also increasing. At the IAEA's Marine Environment Laboratories in Monaco, scientists are using nuclear techniques to study the impact of ocean acidification on one of our most valuable natural resources.
Economic Impact of Ocean Acidification
Over 150 marine scientists from 26 countries have joined forces to issue a statement - known as the Monaco Declaration on Ocean Acidification. The IAEA's Marine Laboratories play a key role in the Declaration. In line with one of its main recommendations, the IAEA marine scientists are teaming up with economists to evaluate the economic impacts of ocean acidification. IAEA scientist Ross Jeffree talks about this initiative.
