Buffering Estuarine Sediments Against Acidification

Creator:

Myers, Tristen J.

Abstract:

Globally rising anthropogenic CO₂ emissions have resulted in the increased prevalence of ocean acidification (OA) which has the potential to impact shell-forming organisms. On geologic timescales, the largest contributor to atmospheric CO₂ was volcanoes, counterbalanced by weathering and erosion, but due to increased anthropogenic emissions, these processes alone can no...

Seagrasses as Potential Chemical Refugia for Acidification-Sensitive Bivalves

Creator:

Smith, Stephanie Rae

Abstract:

As the effect of ocean acidification (OA) on marine calcifiers is better understood, a range of potential mitigative strategies have been proposed, many of which are plagued by concerns of scale and feasibility. One oft-cited option is to increase the biomass of photosynthetic organisms to remove CO₂ from the water...

Ocean Acidification Carryover Effects from Oyster Broodstock to Larvae

Creator:

Klein, Victoria G.

Abstract:

Atmospheric carbon dioxide has increased by approximately 40% since preindustrial times from 280 ppm (parts per million) to 400 ppm. The rise in Pco₂ is causing the ocean to become more acidic due to the uptake of carbon dioxide by the water, termed “ocean acidification”. As the Pco₂ in the...
