Scripps Coastal & Open Ocean BiogeochemistrY Research

Research laboratory at Scripps Institution of Oceanography studying global environmental change and marine biogeochemistry

The Scripps Coastal & Open Ocean BiogeochemistrY Research studies global environmental change owing to both natural and anthropogenic processes, and the subsequent effects on the function, role, and cycling of carbon in marine environments. Current research projects are mainly focused on the effects of ocean acidification on biogeochemical processes in coral reefs and in near-shore coastal environments.
