This activity report includes case studies and discussions of a regional expert workshop entitled» Climate Change, Fishery and Aquaculture in Latin America: Potential Impacts and Challenges for Adaptation» which took place from 5 to 7 October 2011 at the Center for Oceanographic Research in the Eastern South Pacific (COPAS), University of Concepción, Concepción, Chile.

Meteorology and oceanography should be dismayed that they failed to understand the climatic changes during the two world wars, and for not having coordinated their research better to avoid such horrible gaps in understanding the climatic change issue from an oceanographic perspective.

Downcore variations in bulk sedimentary δ15N appear to reflect century - scale variability in basin ventilation, attributed to changes in oceanographic conditions related to century - scale fluctuations in El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO).

SIZRS will make oceanographic profile measurements as part of a larger multidisciplinary effort to track and understand the changing seasonal sea ice zone (SIZ) of the Beaufort and Chukchi seas..

Two, in response to arguments from some climate change skeptics, many scientific organizations with expertise relevant to climate change have endorsed the consensus position that «most of the global warming in recent decades can be attributed to human activities» including the following: • American Association for the Advancement of Science • American Astronomical Society • American Chemical Society • American Geophysical Union • American Institute of Physics • American Meteorological Society • American Physical Society • Australian Coral Reef Society • Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society • Australian Bureau of Meteorology and the CSIRO • British Antarctic Survey • Canadian Foundation for Climate and Atmospheric Sciences • Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society • Environmental Protection Agency • European Federation of Geologists • European Geosciences Union • European Physical Society • Federation of American Scientists • Federation of Australian Scientific and Technological Societies • Geological Society of America • Geological Society of Australia • International Union for Quaternary Research (INQUA) • International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics • National Center for Atmospheric Research • National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration • Royal Meteorological Society • Royal Society of the UK

We conclude at this point that (i) several differently characterized methods should be applied and discussed simultaneously, (ii) uncertainties should be taken into account to prevent biased or wrong conclusions, and (iii) removing internally generated climate variability by incorporating atmospheric or oceanographic information helps to uncover externally forced climate change signals.

In other words, there has been virtually no change in sea ice cover over the last 12 years, despite the fact that atmospheric CO2 has now surpassed 410 parts per million, a considerable and steady increase over levels in 2006 which were about 380 ppm (see below, from the Scripps Oceanographic Laboratory, included in the Washington Post story 3 May 2018):

In Part A, you will carry out a class experiment to test the effects of increased amounts of CO2 on pH. Then, you will analyze time - series graphs to search for relationships between trends in atmospheric CO2, dissolved CO2 in seawater, and changes in ocean pH. In Part B, you will review and analyze the results of research compiled by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute on the effect of ocean acidification on a variety of marine organisms.

Stephanie Jenouvrier Assistant Scientist, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute Specialties: Understanding and predicting the effect of climate change on seabird populations, especially in the Southern Ocean

the problem with the typical oceanographic viewpoint that all of the changes in SSH are due to changes in dynamic topography is that neither the geoid nor the ocean's crust is stationary, and SSH changes can be driven by their motion.

Wayne Trivelpiece, an Antarctic penguin researcher with the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration's Southwest Fisheries Science Center, based in La Jolla, Calif., agrees that climate change is a serious threat to these and other penguin populations around the world.

These geoid and crustal changes, while typically small compared with the tens of centimetre changes driven by oceanographic processes on shorter time scales, become increasingly important as the time scale of interest increases and the size of the dynamic ocean signal decreases.»

Lloyd Keigwin, a scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, in Massachusetts, in the US, described the temporary shutdown as «the most abrupt change in the whole [climate] record».

«S. J. Holgate, a recognised world authority in geophysical research at the UK - based Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory in Liverpool, in his paper published in 2007» as the cite for the claim that «Importantly, there was no increase in the rate of change over the whole century.»

Kristopher Karnauskas, an associate scientist in geology and geophysics at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) in the US, and colleagues report in Nature Climate Change that they analysed flight times and daily wind speeds at cruising altitudes for four airlines on three routes over the last 20 years.

They conclude that uncertainties should be taken into account to prevent biased or wrong conclusions and that removing internally generated climate variability by incorporating atmospheric or oceanographic information helps to uncover externally forced climate change signals.
