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 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...

Interactive effects of temperature, CO2 and nitrogen source on a coastal California diatom assemblage
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Diatoms are often considered to be a single functional group, yet there is a great deal of morphological, genetic and ecological diversity within the class. How these differences will...

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...

CO2-driven seawater acidification increases photochemical stress in a green alga
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Increased CO2 and associated acidification in seawater, known as ocean acidification, decreases calcification of most marine calcifying organisms. However, there is little information...

Elevated seawater CO2 concentrations impair larval development and reduce larval survival in endangered northern abalone (Haliotis kamtschatkana)
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Increasing levels of anthropogenic carbon dioxide in the world's oceans are resulting in a decrease in the availability of carbonate ions and a drop in seawater pH. This process, known as...

The effect of pH on natural settlement and metamorphosis in the invasive limpet, Crepidula fornicata
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
The average pH of ocean surface waters has dropped by about 30%, due to absorption of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. In the past decade, much research has been conducted examining the...
