Naturally acidic waters of Puget Sound surround UW’s Friday Harbor Labs
Posted on UW Today: 12 Mar 2015 — By Hannah Hickey For more than 100 years, marine biologists at Friday Harbor Laboratories have studied the ecology of everything from tiny marine plants to giant sea stars. Now, as the oceans are undergoing a historic shift in chemistry, the lab is establishing
An in-situ sensor technology for simultaneous spectrophotometric measurements of seawater total dissolved inorganic carbon and pH
Posted on OA: 5 Mar 2015 A new, in-situ sensing system, Channelized Optical System (CHANOS), was recently developed to make high-resolution, simultaneous measurements of total dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and pH in seawater. Measurements made by this single, compact sensor can fully characterize the marine carbonate system. The system

CO2 Emissions Threaten Seafood As Ocean Acidification Spreads Along US Coastlines
Posted on International Business Times: 23 Feb 2015 — By Maria Gallucci Ocean acidification threatens more communities along the U.S. coastline than scientists previously understood, a new Natural Resources Defense Council study found. The phenomenon could disrupt local shellfish industries from southern Massachusetts and Virginia to swampy Louisiana and southern
