Present-day nearshore pH differentially depresses fertilization in congeneric sea urchins
Posted on OA: 26 Mar 2014 Ocean acidification impacts fertilization in some species of sea urchin, but whether sensitivity is great enough to be influenced by present-day pH variability has not been documented. In this study, fertilization in two congeneric sea urchins,Strongylocentrotus purpuratus and S. franciscanus, was found to be sensitive to

“Things you should know about ocean acidification” – a slide set for scientists introducing ocean acidification to a wider audience
Posted on OA: 7 March 2014 The SOLAS IMBER Working Group on Ocean Acidification (SIOA) and the Ocean Acidification International Coordination Centre (OA-ICC) have developed a set of 10 slides on ocean acidification, intended as a resource for scientists when communicating on ocean acidification to non-scientific audiences, including the general
Ocean acidification research at the School of Aquatic & Fisheries Sciences (SAFS), University of Washington
Posted on OA: 5 Mar 2014 The world’s oceans are rapidly changing in response to human activities. Carbon emissions are causing the warming of oceans, loss of sea ice, and what is now a new hot topic—ocean acidification. About one-third of carbon emitted into the atmosphere is absorbed by ocean
