Permeable coral reef sediment dissolution driven by elevated CO2 and porewater advection
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Ocean acidification (OA) is expected to drive the transition of coral reef ecosystems from net calcium carbonate (CaCO3) precipitating to net dissolving within the next century. Although...

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...

Deducing acidification rates based on short-term time series
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
We show that, statistically, the simple linear regression (SLR)-determined rate of temporal change in seawater pH ($β$pH), the so-called acidification rate, can be expressed as a linear...

Growing up in the temperate zone: age, growth, calcification and carbonate mineralogy of Melicerita chathamensis (Bryozoa) in southern New Zealand
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
The cheilostome bryozoan Melicerita chathamensis from the continental shelf around southern New Zealand is unusual in having macroscopic annual growth checks. It thus presents an...

The influence of abrupt increases in seawater pCO2 on plankton productivity in the subtropical North Pacific Ocean
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
We conducted a series of experiments to examine short-term (2-5 days) effects of abrupt increases in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) in seawater on rates of primary and...

CO32- concentration and pCO2 thresholds for calcification and dissolution on the Molokai reef flat, Hawaii
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
The severity of the impact of elevated atmospheric pCO2 to coral reef ecosystems depends, in part, on how seawater pCO2 affects the balance between calcification and dissolution of...

Decadal variability in seawater pH in the West Pacific: Evidence from coral $δ$ B-11 records
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Long-term seawater pH records are essential for evaluating the rates of ocean acidification (OA) driven by anthropogenic emissions. Widespread, natural decadal variability in seawater pH...

Aragonite saturation state and dynamic mechanism in the southern Yellow Sea, China
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Based upon surveys conducted in November 2012 and June 2013, the distribution and dynamics of aragonite saturation state ($Ømega$arag) were investigated in the southern Yellow Sea (SYS)...

Galápagos coral reef persistence after ENSO warming across an acidification gradient
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Anthropogenic CO2 is causing warming and ocean acidification. Coral reefs are being severely impacted, yet confusion lingers regarding how reefs will respond to these stressors over this...

Will coral islands maintain their growth over the next century? A deterministic model of sediment availability at Lady Elliot Island, Great Barrier Reef
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
A geomorphic assessment of reef system calcification is conducted for past (3200 Ka to present), present and future (2010-2100) time periods. Reef platform sediment production is...

Behavior of brooded coral larvae in response to elevated pCO2
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Elevated pCO2 threatens coral reefs through impaired calcification. However, the extent to which elevated pCO2 affects the distribution of the pelagic larvae of scleractinian corals, and...

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...
