Marine projections of warming and ocean acidification in the Australasian region
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
In response to increasing carbon dioxide emissions the oceans have become warmer and more acidic. In this paper, the ability of Earth System Models to simulate observed temperature and...

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...

The influence of Pacific Equatorial Water on fish diversity in the southern California Current System
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
The California Undercurrent transports Pacific Equatorial Water (PEW) into the Southern California Bight from the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. PEW is characterized by higher...

Detrimental effects of reduced seawater pH on the early development of the Pacific abalone
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
The hatching process of the Pacific abalone Haliotis discus hannai was prolonged at a pH of 7.6 and pH 7.3, and the embryonic developmental success was reduced. The hatching rate at pH...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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)...
