Posted on Outside: 22 May 2015 — By Mary Catherine O’Connor — It maps waves, predicts conditions, turns surfers into citizen scientists, and could be the data-collecting tool climate scientists need to study our rapidly acidifying oceans. For those who wouldn’t support Smartphin for purely scientific research, some extra technology

Best Practices for autonomous measurement of seawater pH with the Honeywell Durafet pH sensor
Posted on OA: 22 May 2015 — Martz T., McLaughlin K. & Weisberg S. B., 2015. California Current Acidification Network (C-CAN). Publication. The California Current Acidification Network (C-CAN) is a collaboration dedicated to advancing understanding of ocean acidification (OA) and its effects on biological resources of the U.S. West
Seasonal variations in the aragonite saturation state in the upper open-ocean waters of the North Pacific Ocean
Posted on OA: 22 May 2015 Seasonal variability of the aragonite saturation state (ΩAR) in the upper (50 m and 100 m depths) North Pacific Ocean (NPO) was investigated using multiple linear regression (MLR). The MLR algorithm derived from a high-quality carbon dataset accurately predicted the ΩAR of evaluation
Two intertidal, non-calcifying macroalgae (Palmaria palmata and Saccharina latissima) show complex and variable responses to short-term CO2 acidification
Posted on OA: 22 May 2015 Ocean acidification, the result of increased dissolution of carbon dioxide (CO2) in seawater, is a leading subject of current research. The effects of acidification on non-calcifying macroalgae are, however, still unclear. The current study reports two 1-month studies using two different macroalgae, the
