The role of ocean acidification in systemic carbonate mineral suppression in the Bering Sea
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Ocean acidification driven by absorption of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere is now recognized as a systemic, global process that could threaten diverse marine...

Influence of post-Tehuano oceanographic processes in the dynamics of the CO system in the Gulf of Tehuantepec, Mexico
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
This investigation reports, for the first time, results of CO2 system variables in the Gulf of Tehuantepec, located in the Mexican tropical Pacific. We quantified the post-Tehuano...

Potential future coral habitats around Japan depend strongly on anthropogenic CO2 emissions
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Using the results from the NCAR CSM1.4-coupled global carbon cycle–climate model under the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) emission scenarios SRES A2 and B1, we estimated...

Ocean acidification has lethal and sub-lethal effects on larval development of yellowfin tuna, Thunnus albacares
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Ocean acidification (OA), the process by which increasing atmospheric CO2 is absorbed by the ocean, lowering the pH of surface waters, has been shown to affect many marine organisms...

Seasonal patterns in aragonite saturation state on the southern California continental shelf
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Shoaling of the saturation horizon for aragonite in the California Current System has been well-documented; however, these reports are based primarily on surveys conducted in waters off...

Publications
Reconstructing aragonite saturation state based on an empirical relationship for Northern California
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Ocean acidification is a global phenomenon with highly regional spatial and temporal patterns. In order to address the challenges of future ocean acidification at a regional scale, it is...

Narratives can motivate environmental action: the Whiskey Creek ocean acidification story
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Even when environmental data quantify the risks and benefits of delayed responses to rapid anthropogenic change, institutions rarely respond promptly. We propose that narratives...

Effect of seawater temperature, pH, and nutrients on the distribution and character of low abundance shallow water benthic foraminifera in the Galápagos
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
In order to help predict the effects of anthropogenic stressors on shallow water carbonate environments, it is important to focus research on regions containing natural oceanographic...

Using present-day observations to detect when anthropogenic change forces surface ocean carbonate chemistry outside preindustrial bounds
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
One of the major challenges to assessing the impact of ocean acidification on marine life is detecting and interpreting long-term change in the context of natural variability. This study...

Deep oceans may acidify faster than anticipated due to global warming
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Oceans worldwide are undergoing acidification due to the penetration of anthropogenic CO2 from the atmosphere1,2,3,4. The rate of acidification generally diminishes with increasing depth....

Perception and response of the U.S. West Coast shellfish industry to ocean acidification: the voice of the canaries in the coal mine
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
In the mid-2000s the U.S. west coast oyster industry experienced several years of significant production failures. This industry has been referred to as the “canary in a coal mine” for...
