New study reveals how sensitive U.S. East coast regions may be to ocean acidification
Posted on EPOCA: 05 Mar 2013 A continental-scale chemical survey in the waters of the eastern U.S. and Gulf of Mexico is helping researchers determine how distinct bodies of water will resist changes in acidity. The study, which measures varying levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other forms of carbon

The effects of intermittent exposure to low pH and oxygen conditions on survival and growth of juvenile red abalone
Posted on EPOCA: 26 Feb 2013 — Kim T. W., Barry J. P. & Micheli F., 2013. Biogeosciences Discussions 10: 3559-3576 Exposure of nearshore animals to hypoxic, low pH waters upwelled from below the continental shelf and advected near the coast may be stressful to marine organisms and lead to
High CO2 reduces the settlement of a spawning coral on three common species of crustose coralline algae
Posted on EPOCA: 26 Feb 2013 Concern about the impacts of ocean acidification (OA) on ecosystem function has prompted many studies to focus on larval recruitment, demonstrating declines in settlement and early growth at elevated CO2 concentrations. Since larval settlement is often driven by particular cues governed by crustose coralline algae
