CSU faculty researchers find that marine plants could play a big role in reducing ocean acidification, a devastating side effect of climate change. One of the many devastating side effects of climate change is this: The planet’s seas are absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, making the water much more

Key biological mechanism is disrupted by ocean acidification
Photosynthetic plankton like these Ross Sea diatoms are key players in the global carbon cycle and form the base of marine food webs, but a new study reveals their ability to acquire iron is highly sensitive to ocean acidification.

Ocean acidification poses new concern for SF Bay water

Workshop on Durafet-based pH sensors highlights importance of collecting reference samples
Ocean pH sensor technology has advanced quickly over the last few years. This is predominately driven by the integration of Honeywell™ Durafet® pH electrodes in oceanographic sensor packages. Durafets sensors contain Ion Sensitive Field Effect Transistor (ISFET) technology, which produces highly precise pH measurements in seawater. Precision is better than
