Welcome, Keynote, and Q&A

Register

The conference opening keynote will be given by Dr. Scott Doney, Joe D. and Helen J. Kington Professor in Environmental Change at the University of Virginia.

Scott Doney's expertise spans oceanography, climate and biogeochemistry, with particular emphasis on the application of numerical models and data analysis methods to global-scale questions. Much of his research focuses on how the global carbon cycle and ocean ecology respond to natural and human-driven climate change. One of his current areas of study is ocean acidification due to the invasion into the ocean of carbon dioxide and other chemicals from fossil fuel burning. He is the author of nearly 300 peer-reviewed research publications and co-author of a textbook on data analysis and modeling methods for the marine sciences. He is regularly called on as a source for stories on climate change and ocean acidification by mainstream media outlets, and he has testified before the U.S. Congress on the issue.
