The Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, shows negative correlation to naturally elevated carbon dioxide levels: implications for near-term ocean acidification effects
Posted on EPOCA : 10 Apr 2012 — Barton A., Hales B., Waldbusser G. G., Langdon C. & Feely, R. A., 2012. The Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, shows negative correlation to naturally elevated carbon dioxide levels: implications for near-term ocean acidification effects. We report results from an oyster hatchery on
SCCOOS projects – 2012 Ocean Acidification
Posted on EPOCA: 10 Apr 2012 What is ocean acidification? As the ocean absorbs increasing levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, it causes changes in ocean chemistry. When carbon dioxide reacts with water, it creates carbonic acid, decreasing pH and carbonate ion concentration. Lower levels of pH in
New ocean acidification sensor installed at Scripps
Posted on EPOCA: 06 Apr 2012 02 On Tuesday, March 13th 2012, members of the Smith Lab and the Scripps Diving Safety Office excitedly directed SCUBA divers (Andi Haas and Brian Zgliczynski) as they permanently installed Scripps’ first ocean acidification monitoring system. The monitoring system is attached underwater to a
Why ocean acidification matters to California, and what California can do about it:
Posted on EPOCA: 04 Apr 2012 — A report on the power of California’s State Government to address ocean acidification in state waters California’s ocean is becoming more acidic as a result of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and other pollutants. This fundamental change is likely to have substantial ecological
