Terms of Reference
  1. Promote research on climate change impacts on marine ecosystems by scientists in ICES and PICES member nations through coordinated communication, exchange of methodology, and organization of meetings to discuss and publish results;
  2. In collaboration with relevant expert groups in PICES and ICES, develop frameworks and methodologies for forecasting the impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems, with particular emphasis on the distribution, abundance and production of commercial fish and shellfish;
  3. Review the results of designated case studies to test methods;
  4. Explore techniques for estimating and communicating uncertainty in forecasts;
  5. Explore strategies for research and management under climate change scenarios, given the limitations of our forecasts;
  6. Plan for a science symposium in early 2010 to present, discuss and publish forecasts of climate change impacts on the world’s marine ecosystems, with particular emphasis on commercial fish and shellfish resources;
  7. Produce publications that are relevant to the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change;
  8. Publish report(s) summarizing work.
