Co2 Acidification in Aquatic Ecosystems : An Integrative Approach to Risk Assessment

CO2 Acidification in Aquatic Ecosystems: An Integrative Approach to Risk Assessment focuses on the characterization of different aspects of ecosystem science to describe the situation of CO2 acidification in aquatic ecosystems. This extensive coverage looks at the effects of CO2 acidification throughout all oceans and coastal areas. In addition, the book describes integrative approaches based on global case studies to determine the effects associated with this kind of acidification. It allows the reader to understand the different sources of CO2 in the aquatic ecosystems and the different approaches and lines of evidence available to characterize the impact of this acidification.

This book provides researchers, professors and post graduate students in oceanography and aquatic ecology with a new and complete tool set to address and understand the potential impacts of CO2 acidification in aquatic ecosystems.

• Presents case studies and new data related to CO2 acidification in aquatic ecosystems
• Includes new approaches for understanding the behavior of organisms in aquatic ecosystems that are suffering stress from different sources of contamination at acidification conditions
• Provides an integrated approach to address the environmental quality in areas affected by acidification and contamination by other stressors

As internationally known Researcher at Environmental Science and Technology, Dr DelValls has made an important contribution to the assessment of environmental impact in aquatic ecosystems (mainly at coastal and marine ecosystems) under different research initiatives. He has more than 200 peer-reviewed research publications included in JCR/SCI (Web of Science, ISI). He has an H-index of 41 (Scopus) and higher than 40 at Google Scholar (46). He has coordinated and leadered more than 50 research and academic projects externally funded either by public and private institutions. He has over 25 years' experience in coordinating international and national research programs across a number of scientific disciplines. He has supervised more than 60 Master students, 30 Doctoral students and 15 Postdoctoral fellows from more than 20 different countries.
