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.

Coral growth along a natural gradient of seawater temperature, pH, and oxygen in a nearshore seagrass bed on Dongsha Atoll, Taiwan 10/23/2024

Coral growth along a natural gradient of seawater temperature, pH, and oxygen in a nearshore seagrass bed on Dongsha Atoll, Taiwan Coral reefs are facing threats from a variety of global change stressors, including ocean warming, acidification, and deoxygenation. It has been hypothesized that growing corals near primary producers such as macroalgae or seagrass may help to ameliorate acidification and deoxygenation stress, howev...
