Marine Mass Mortality in a Global Change Context: Impacts on Individuals, Populations and Communities

Creator:

Sullivan Stack, Jenna

Abstract:

Human actions are pushing natural systems into states that have no historical precedent. In response, empirical and theoretical researchers are increasingly focused on developing ways to predict the responses of ecological systems to change. However, significant knowledge gaps remain, often leading to “ecological surprises” where observed impacts of global change...

Adaptive Potential of Coastal Invertebrates to Environmental Stressors and Climate Change

Creator:

Burton, Andrea R.

Abstract:

Climate change presents multiple stressors that are impacting marine life. As carbon dioxide emissions continue to increase in the atmosphere, atmospheric and sea water temperatures increase. In addition, more carbon dioxide is absorbed into the oceans, reducing pH and aragonite saturation state, resulting in ocean acidification (OA). Tightly coupled with...

Impacts of Ocean Acidification on Coralline Algae : From Species to Community Consequences

Creator:

Shen, Chenchen

Abstract:

Oceanic uptake of rising anthropogenic CO₂ emissions has caused the emergence of ocean acidification as a major threat to marine ecosystems worldwide. Along eastern boundary current systems, seawater is naturally acidified due to coastal upwelling of low pH seawater from depth. Compounded by ocean acidification, upwelling regions are expected to...
