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...

Metabolic responses of the North Pacific krill, Euphausia pacifica, to short- and long-term pCO2 exposure
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
While ocean acidification is likely to have major effects on many marine organisms, those species that regularly experience variable pCO2 environments may be more tolerant of future...

Effects of increased seawater pCO2 on early development of the oyster Crassostrea gigas
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
This study demonstrated that the increased partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) in seawater and the attendant acidification that are projected to occur by the year 2300 will severely impact the...
