Short and long term consequences of larval stage exposure to constantly and ephemerally elevated carbon dioxide for marine bivalve populations
Posted on EPOCA: 16 Nov 2012 While larval bivalves are highly sensitive to ocean acidification, the basis for this sensitivity and the longer term implications of this sensitivity are unclear. Experiments were performed to assess the short term (days) and long term (months) consequences of larval stage exposure to
Changing Planet
As higher amounts of carbon dioxide become absorbed by the oceans, some marine organisms are finding it’s a struggle to adjust. The Changing Planet series explores the impact that climate change is having on our planet, and is provided by the National Science Foundation (http://science360.gov/series/Changing+Planet/) & NBC Learn (http://www.nbclearn.com/changingplanet)

Members of C-CAN Listserv discuss microbial impacts relative to OA
A C-CAN listserv discussion on relationship between OA and microbial impacts, HABs C-CAN steering committee member Ian Jefferds began the discussion, noting the importance of considering microbial impacts to marine carbonate chemistry in the discussion of OA. He introduced the group to microbiologist Linda Rhodes, NOAA, who serves on the
