ResourceSpatiotemporal variability in seawater carbon chemistry for a coral reef flat in Kāne‘ohe Bay, Hawai‘i
Coral reef community composition and ecosystem function may change in response to anthropogenic ocean acidification. However, the magnitude of acidification on reefs will be modified by natural spatial and temporal variability in seawater CO2 chemistry. C...

ResourcePhysiological acclimatization in Hawaiian corals following a 22-month shift in baseline seawater temperature and pH.
Climate change poses a major threat to coral reefs. We conducted an outdoor 22-month experiment to investigate if coral could not just survive, but also physiologically cope, with chronic ocean warming and acidification conditions expected later this cent...
ResourceComparing coral demographic surveys from in situ observations and Structure-from-Motion imagery shows low methodological bias
NOAA’s Ecosystem Sciences Division (ESD) at the Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) executes the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program’s National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP) across 40 primary islands, atolls, and shallow banks in the...
ResourceCarbonate Budget Assessments in the U.S. Pacific Islands: Report of Methods Comparison Results and Summary of Standard Operating Procedures
This technical memorandum summarizes 2021 through 2022 results from the NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center carbonate budget assessment methods development effort and establishes standard operating procedures for conducting carbonate budget asse...
Downloadable DataCalcification Rates of Crustose Coralline Algae derived from Calcification Accretion Units (CAUs) deployed across American Samoa and the Pacific Remote Island Areas in 2010 and recovered in 2012 (NCEI Accession 0137093)
Metadata Thumbnail Laboratory experiments reveal calcification rates of crustose coralline algae are strongly correlated to seawater aragonite saturation state. Predictions of reduced coral calcification rates, due to ocean acidification, suggest that coral reef communities...
Downloadable DataDissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, water temperature and salinity collected from surface discrete observations using coulometer, alkalinity titrator and other instruments from the coral reef MAPCO2 buoys at Ala Wai, CRIMP-2, Kaneohe, and Kilo Nalu from 2016-01-08 to 2023-12-08 (NCEI Accession 0176671)
Metadata Thumbnail This dataset contains bottle data for dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and total alkalinity (TA) for the period January 2016 through December 2023. The bottle samples were collected approximately every two weeks, weather permitting, from approximately 20 ...
