Ocean acidification is a global condition with local effects that play out in coastal waters affecting biota and humans who depend on the sea. In this talk, I will explore how partnerships can make a difference to the knowledge learned, its application, and its scope of influence on both local and global scales.

Dr. Jan Newton is a Senior Principal Oceanographer with the Applied Physics Laboratory at the University of Washington and an Affiliate Professor at the UW School of Oceanography and School of Marine and Environmental Affairs, in the College of the Environment.  She is the Executive Director of NANOOS, the Northwest Association of Networked Ocean Observing Systems, part of U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System. She is also a co-director of the Washington Ocean Acidification Center, co-chair of the Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network, and co-lead for the UN Ocean Decade programme Ocean Acidification Research for Sustainability, OARS. Jan is a biological oceanographer with research on coastal dynamics, including effects from climate and humans on water properties and plankton, with focused efforts to build ocean observing and connections to society.
