Getting rid of hypoxia in a warming world

Guest Speaker:
Daniel Conley, Professor of Biogeochemistry
Lund University, Sweden

A number of synthesis efforts have documented the world-wide increase in hypoxia across the land-ocean continuum driven by nutrient inputs and warming. The Baltic Sea provides an interesting case study to examine changes in oxygen dynamics because of the diversity of the temporal and spatial scales of hypoxia. I will explore the prospects of getting rid of hypoxia and the time scales of improvement through nutrient reductions and geoengineering.
