Alkalinity Increase in the Arabian Gulf
(2019)Ocean acidification is an issue that is becoming of increasing global concern due to the dramatic impact it has on marine life wellness as well as economy. The Arabian Gulf uses pearl oysters and coral reefs as a major ... -
Investigating responses of calcium carbonate nucleation rates in artificial seawater to changes in saturation states due to ocean acidification
(2016-06)[author abstract] Reduced saturation states of carbonate ions caused by ocean acidification make it harder for marine calcifiers such as corals to build their shell or skeleton. Nucleation is vital to corals because it is ... -
Measurement of pH: comparing methods across the Kuroshio Extension
(2013-06)[author abstract] Accurate pH measurements are the foundation for assessing the extent of ocean acidification, and provide the motivation for this study. We present pH values along a cruise track that crosses the Kuroshio ...
