Shift from coral to macroalgae dominance on a volcanically acidified reef
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Rising anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere is accompanied by an increase in oceanic CO2 and a concomitant decline in seawater pH (ref. 1). This phenomenon, known as ocean acidification...

Uranium in larval shells as a barometer of molluscan ocean acidification exposure
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
As the ocean undergoes acidification, marine organisms will become increasingly exposed to reduced pH, yet variability in many coastal settings complicates our ability to accurately...
