Metabolically-induced pH fluctuations by some coastal calcifiers exceed projected 22nd century ocean acidification: a mechanism for differential susceptibility?
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Anthropogenically-mediated decreases in pH, termed ocean acidification (OA), may be a major threat to marine organisms and communities. Research has focussed mainly on tropical coral...

Perceptions of climate change and adaptation responses in a local community: the Barwon Estuary Complex, Victoria
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
The climate change focus in Australia has shifted from mitigation to adaptation with an emphasis on place-specific case studies. The Barwon Estuary Complex (BEC) on the Bellarine...

Synergistic effects of climate-related variables suggest future physiological impairment in a top oceanic predator
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
By the end of this century, anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are expected to decrease the surface ocean pH by as much as 0.3 unit. At the same time, the ocean is expected to...

Upwelling modulation of functional traits of a dominant planktonic grazer during “warm-acid” El Niño 2015 in a year-round upwelling area of Humboldt Current
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Climate change is expected to exacerbate upwelling intensity and natural acidification in Eastern Boundaries Upwelling Systems (EBUS). Conducted between January-September 2015 in a...

Changes in water quality following opening and closure of a bar-built estuary (Pescadero, California)
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Bar-built estuaries are coastal environments characterized by the partial closure of the estuary's mouth with a sandbar barrier for extended periods (closed state). Through natural events...

Net loss of CaCO3 from a subtropical calcifying community due to seawater acidification: mesocosm-scale experimental evidence
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Acidification of seawater owing to oceanic uptake of atmospheric CO2 originating from human activities such as burning of fossil fuels and land-use changes has raised serious concerns...

Changes in pteropod distributions and shell dissolution across a frontal system in the California Current System
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
We tested the sensitivity of the vertical distributions and shell dissolution patterns of thecosome pteropods to spatial gradients associated with an eddy-associated front in the southern...

Indicators of climate change and social vulnerability in fishing dependent communities along the Eastern and Gulf Coasts of the United States
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Changing climatic conditions are affecting the relationship between fishing communities and the marine resources they depend on. This shift will require an adaptive response on the part...

Habitat compression and expansion of sea urchins in response to changing climate conditions on the California continental shelf and slope (1994–2013)
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Echinoid sea urchins with distributions along the continental shelf and slope of the eastern Pacific often dominate the megafauna community. This occurs despite their exposure to...

Sponge bioerosion on changing reefs: ocean warming poses physiological constraints to the success of a photosymbiotic excavating sponge
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Excavating sponges are prominent bioeroders on coral reefs that in comparison to other benthic organisms may suffer less or may even benefit from warmer, more acidic and more eutrophic...

Seawater acidification induced immune function changes of haemocytes in Mytilus edulis: a comparative study of CO2 and HCl enrichment
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
The present study was performed to evaluate the effects of CO2- or HCl-induced seawater acidification (pH 7.7 or 7.1; control: pH 8.1) on haemocytes of Mytilus edulis, and the changes in...
