The 53rd Liege colloquium will investigate new developments and insights related to deoxygenation in open and coastal waters. The colloquium is a contribution to the Ocean Decade program Global Ocean Oxygen Decade (GOOD) and the definition of its sessions is aligned with GOOD activities.

More specifically, the following topics will be considered:

• Deoxygenation: understanding causes and attributing changes.
• Assessing open ocean and coastal deoxygenation variability and trends.
• Deoxygenation: observing and modelling
• Deoxygenation and ocean life
• Deoxygenation and co-stressors: understanding, monitoring and mitigating deoxygenation in the context of multiple stressors
• Ocean Deoxygenation - how the past can inform the future?
• Microbial Communities and their controls on biogeochemical feedbacks and interactions
• Deoxygenation, water quality and the climate system: understanding processes and feedbacks and developing actionable indicators
• Deoxygenation: ecosystem services, economic and societal consequences.
• Confronting deoxygenation and its impacts: translating science to management and policy
