Tidepools in Dead Man’s Cove show large fluctuations in carbonate chemistry during the low tide in comparison to Haro Stait water
(2011)
During the low tide, tidepools are under different physio-chemical conditions than the
coastal waters. This includes the carbonate chemistry, which is especially pertinent to
study due to the threat of ocean acidification on carbonate chemistry. We examined the
fluctuation in DIC, total alkalinity, pH, temperature, dissolved ...
Investigation of the carbonate chemistry of two tide pools on San Juan Island
(2011)
Open ocean observations have shown that increasing levels of anthropogenically-derived atmospheric CO2 are causing acidification of the world’s oceans. Yet little is known about coastal acidification and very few studies have characterized the carbonate chemistry of coastal zones or intertidal rock pools where many calcifying ...
A Tale of Two Tide Pools: Examining Carbonate Chemistry in the Intertidal
(2011)
Characterization of physical conditions in tide pools is quite common in the scientific literature, but there is a marked paucity of information regarding the carbonate chemistry of these ecosystems; the majority of studies focus on temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen measurements. This lack of information is especially ...
THE TALE OF TWO TIDEPOOLS: EXAMINING CARBONATE CHEMISTRY IN THE INTERTIDAL
(2011)
Tidepools are a prominent feature of the intertidal zone, housing a great diversity of both
macroalgae and mobile animal components. Tidepool organisms are exposed to wide variations
in temperature, salinity, and pH over the course of the low tide. As of yet, very few studies have
quantified the changes in carbonate chemistry ...
Variations in Tide Pool Carbonate Chemistry and Temperature
(2011)
Tide pools are known to have extreme variations in both their temperature and
carbonate chemistry while they are isolated from the surrounding waters. These extreme
environments provide an interesting view into how organisms are able to cope with large
variations in temperature, pH and total carbon. The knowledge of how ...
