Voyage to study effects of ocean acidification off US West Coast

LA Times: A team of scientists is setting out on a research expedition along the U.S. West Coast to study ocean acidification, the greenhouse gas-driven change in the chemistry of seawater that has been called climate change's "evil twin.' Chemists and biologists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will board the survey ship Fairweather next week, sailing from Canada to Mexico to collect samples of water, algae and plankton, officials said Thursday. The goal of the monthlong voyage...

Ocean Acidification and Deep-sea Organisms
2013-05-25 14:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: Although the natural absorption of CO2 by the world's oceans help mitigate climate effects, the resulting decrease in pH causes ocean acidification which can have negative consequences for much of the marine life, specifically calcifiers such as corals and mollusks that construct their shells and skeletons from calcium carbonate. To study the effects of ocean acidification on deep-sea organisms, a team of researchers at the University of Bristol and Yale University used Synchrotron Radiation X-ray...

Arctic faces further threat from ocean acidification
2013-05-07 11:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The Arctic ecosystem, already under pressure from record ice melts, faces another potential threat in the form of rapid acidification of the ocean, according to an international study published on Monday. Acidification, blamed on the transformation of rising levels of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide from the air into carbonic acid in the sea, makes it harder for shellfish and crabs to grow their shells, and might also impair fish reproduction, it said. Cold water absorbs carbon dioxide more...

Large plastic bags in unique experiment to study ocean acidification
2013-03-13 16:26:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: To study the effects of ocean acidification, ten huge plastic containers called mesocosms are placed in the Gullmar Fjord in Sweden. The project is unique: mesocosms of this size have never been used for such a long period of time. The experiment is part of a worldwide research project, and includes researchers from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. This is the largest and longest experiment on the impact of climate change on marine ecosystems that have been carried out to this date. A team...
