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...

Nutrient pollution disrupts key ecosystem functions on coral reefs
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
There is a long history of examining the impacts of nutrient pollution and pH on coral reefs. However, little is known about how these two stressors interact and influence coral reef...

Not all sponges will thrive in a high-CO2 ocean: review of the mineralogy of calcifying sponges
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Most marine sponges precipitate silicate skeletal elements, and it has been predicted that they would be among the few “winners” among invertebrates in an acidifying, high-CO2 ocean. But...

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...

A simple colorimetric method for determining seawater alkalinity using bromophenol blue
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
The development of small portable USB‐spectrophotometer systems makes monitoring alkalinity and pH possible in the field and remote locations. Here, we present a method utilizing purified...

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...

Impacts of near future sea surface pH and temperature conditions on fertilisation and embryonic development in Centrostephanus rodgersii from northern New Zealand and northern New South Wales, Australia
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Oceans are warming and becoming more acidic. While higher temperature and lower pH can have negative effects on fertilisation and development of marine invertebrates, warming may...

Impact of ocean acidification on phytoplankton assemblage, growth, and DMS production following Fe-dust additions in the NE Pacific high-nutrient, low-chlorophyll waters
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Ocean acidification (OA) is likely to have an effect on the fertilizing potential of desert dust in high-nutrient, low-chlorophyll oceanic regions, either by modifying iron (Fe)...

Coral reefs and people in a high-CO2 world: where can science make a difference to people?
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Reefs and People at Risk Increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere put shallow, warm-water coral reef ecosystems, and the people who depend upon them at risk from two key...

Effects of ocean acidification caused by rising CO2 on the early development of three mollusks
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Increasing atmospheric CO2 can decrease seawater pH and carbonate ions, which may adversely affect the larval survival of calcareous animals. In this study, we simulated future...

Elevated CO2 does not exacerbate nutritional stress in larvae of a Pacific flatfish
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Multiple aspects of climate change are expected to co-occur such that ocean acidification will take place in conjunction with warming and a range of trophic changes. Previous studies have...

Effect of marine acidification on calcification and respiration of Chlamys farreri
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Marine acidification will be an important environmental problem in the near future as a result of persistent emissions of CO2 and dissolution into seawater. In this study, we found that...
