flux, biogeochemical processes, and coastal ecosystem
functioning. Sea-level rise, altered rainfall patterns leading to extreme droughts and wet periods, and biogeochemical changes associated with ocean acidification are
among the most important research topics associated with
climate that will likely see great progress in the next few
years.
