Potential effects of ocean acidification on Alaskan corals based on calcium carbonate mineralogy composition analysis (NCEI Accession 0157223)
This dataset contains potential effects of ocean acidification on Alaskan corals based on calcium carbonate mineralogy composition analysis. Effects of ocean acidification (OA) on deep-sea coral habitats in Alaska could be pronounced given the particularl...
Effects of chronic low carbonate saturation levels on the distribution, growth and skeletal chemistry of deep-sea corals and other seamount megabenthos
"Ocean acidification has been predicted to reduce the ability of marine organisms to produce carbonate skeletons, threatening their long-term viability and severely impacting marine ecosystems. Corals, as ecosystem engineers, have been identified as parti...
Refining trace metal temperature proxies in cold-water scleractinian and stylasterid corals
The Li/Mg, Sr/Ca and oxygen isotopic (δ18O) compositions of many marine biogenic carbonates are sensitive to seawater temperature. Corals, as cosmopolitan marine taxa with carbonate skeletons that can be precisely dated, represent ideal hosts for these ge...
Tropical cyclones cause CaCO3 undersaturation of coral reef seawater in a high-CO2 world
"Ocean acidification is the global decline in seawater pH and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) saturation state (Omega) due to the uptake of anthropogenic CO2 by the worlds oceans. Acidification impairs CaCO3 shell and skeleton construction by marine organisms. ...
Simulation of global ocean acidification and chemical habitats of shallow- and cold-water coral reefs
"Using the UVic Earth System Model, this study simulated the change of seawater chemistry and analyzed the chemical habitat surrounding shallow- and cold-water coral reefs from the year 1800 to 2300 employing RCP2.6, RCP4.5, RCP6.0, and RCP8.5 scenarios. ...
Modeled ocean acidification data in the eastern US coast using satellites and climate model data for the Ocean Acidification Products for the Gulf of Mexico and East Coast project from 2014-01-01 to 2020-12-31 (NCEI Accession 0245951)
Scientists of the ACCRETE (Acidification, Climate, and Coral Reef Ecosystems Team) Lab of AOML’s Ocean Chemistry and Ecosystems Division (OCED) constructed a tool to monitor ocean acidification over the eastern US coast. This tool utilizes satellite data ...
Modeled ocean acidification data in the Gulf of Mexico and wider Caribbean using satellites and climate model data for the Ocean Acidification Products for the Gulf of Mexico and East Coast project from 2014-01-01 to 2020-12-31 (NCEI Accession 0245950)
Scientists of the ACCRETE (Acidification, Climate, and Coral Reef Ecosystems Team) Lab of AOML’s Ocean Chemistry and Ecosystems Division (OCED) constructed a tool to monitor ocean acidification over the wider Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. This tool utiliz...
A comparison of U/Th and rapid‐screen 14C dates from Line Island fossil corals
Time‐consuming and expensive radiometric dating techniques limit the number of dates available to construct absolute chronologies for high‐resolution paleoclimate reconstructions. A recently developed rapid‐screen 14C dating technique reduces sample prepa...
Baseline Assessment of Net Calcium Carbonate Accretion Rates on U.S. Pacific Reefs
"This paper presents a comprehensive quantitative baseline assessment of in situ net calcium carbonate accretion rates (g CaCO3 cm-2 yr-1) of early successional recruitment communities on Calcification Accretion Unit (CAU) plates deployed on coral reefs a...
Monitoring Ocean Acidification from Space in the Pacific
Purpose/Need To manage and conserve coral reefs effectively we need to establish base lines describing current environmental variables, monitor those conditions and accurately project future changes. Baselines and trends in ocean acidification, although o...
