Hettinger, A., Sanford, E., Hill, T. M., Lenz, E. A., Russell, A. D. and Gaylord, B. (2013), Larval carry-over effects from ocean acidification persist in the natural environment. Global Change Biology. doi: 10.1111/gcb.12307 Abstract An extensive body of work suggests that altered marine carbonate chemistry can negatively influence marine invertebrates, but

$2 million in prizes offered for better tools to monitor ocean acidification
Posted on OA: 09 Sep 2013 The tools that scientists use to monitor the acidification of the world’s oceans are expected to get a major upgrade, thanks to a $2 million competition aimed at rewarding innovations that lower the cost and improve the accuracy of chemical sensors. The Wendy Schmidt
Ocean acidification in the coastal zone from an organism’s perspective: multiple system parameters, frequency domains, and habitats
Posted: 09 Sep 2013 — Waldbusser G. G. & Salisbury J. E., in press. Annual Review of Marine Science Multiple natural and anthropogenic processes alter the carbonate chemistry of the coastal zone in ways that either exacerbate or mitigate ocean acidification effects. Freshwater inputs and multiple acid-base reactions change carbonate
Elevated pCO2 causes developmental delay in early larval Pacific oysters, Crassostrea gigas
Posted on OA: 06 Sep 2013 — Timmins-Schiffman E., O’Donnell M. J., Friedman C. S. & Roberts S. B., 2013. Marine Biology 160(8): 1973-1982 Increasing atmospheric CO2 equilibrates with surface seawater, elevating the concentration of aqueous hydrogen ions. This process, ocean acidification, is a future and contemporary concern for aquatic organisms,
Microbial biogeochemistry of coastal upwelling regimes in a changing ocean
Posted on OA: 04 Sep 2013 — Capone D. G. & Hutchins D. A., 2013. Nature Geoscience 6: 711–717. Coastal upwelling regimes associated with eastern boundary currents are the most biologically productive ecosystems in the ocean. As a result, they play a disproportionately important role in the microbially mediated cycling
