NSF awards grants to study effects of ocean acidification
Date:10/13/2010

carbonates reflects changes in seawater chemistry driven by ocean acidification and, in some instances, with associated decline in oxygen levels.

Title: Calcification in low saturation seawater: What can we learn from organisms in the proximity of low pH, undersaturated submarine springs?

Summary: In this study, researchers will assess the utility of low pH submarine springs as field study sites for investigating calcification at low aragonite saturation. Many reef-building corals cease calcification at saturation as high as 2.0; around these springs, calcifying corals inhabit waters well below this value. Work will take place at a series of springs in Mexico, which can provide a natural laboratory to study controls on coral calcification.

Title: Third Symposium on "The Ocean in a High-CO2 World"

Summary: The Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR), Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO, and International Geosphere - Biosphere Programme (IGBP) have formed a committee to plan the third symposium on The Ocean in a High-CO2 World. This symposium will provide a forum for the global community of scientists studying ocean acidification to share their research results through oral and poster presentations; identify priority research topics and approaches for international collaboration through discussion groups; create a summary of the latest research results for policymakers; and create a special issue of a peer-reviewed journal. The symposium will be hosted by a consortium of institutions in Monterey, California in autumn 2012.

PI: Bruce Menge; Institution: Oregon State University
