Canary in the kelp forest
April 23, 2017 The one-two punch of warming waters and ocean acidification is predisposing some marine animals to dissolving quickly under conditions already occurring off the Northern California coast, according to a study from the University of California, Davis. In the study, published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal
Using integrated, ecosystem-level management to address intensifying ocean acidification and hypoxia in the California Current large marine ecosystem
April 4, 2017 Abstract Ocean acidification is intensifying and hypoxia is projected to expand in the California Current large marine ecosystem as a result of processes associated with the global emission of CO2. Observed changes in the California Current outpace those in many other areas of the ocean, underscoring
Species-specific responses to ocean acidification should account for local adaptation and adaptive plasticity
Although this study pertains to the Humboldt Current System, similar variability in response is likely in the California Current. Cristian A. Vargas, Nelson A. Lagos, Marco A.

An evaluation of ISFET sensors for coastal pH monitoring applications
Abstract The accuracy and precision of ion sensitive field effect transistor (ISFET) pH sensors have been well documented, but primarily by ocean chemistry specialists employing the technology at single locations. Here we examine their performance in a network context through comparison to discrete measurements of pH, using different configurations
