2. Effects of Climate Change on the World’s Oceans 3 rd International Symposium March 23-27, 2015 Santos, Brazil  bring together experts from different disciplines to exchange observations, results, models and ideas on the impacts of climate change on the world’s oceans  two previous symposia each attracted over 400 scientists from over 45 countries, making the effort truly global in scale  combine paper Sessions and Workshops to provide a forum for topics on a global- scale and with regional comparisons

3. Effects of Climate Change on the World’s Oceans  Session and Workshop proposals by Sept 18, 2013:  sea level rise, changes in thermo-haline ocean circulation, acidification, oligotrophy of temperate seas, changes in species abundance, distribution and phenology, loss of biodiversity  PICES’ members of Scientific Steering Committee:  Angelica Peña (angelica.pena@dfo-mpo.gc.ca)  Shoshiro Minobe (minobe@mail.sci.hokudai.ac.jp)  Fangli Qiao (qiaofl@fio.org.cn)
