Scripps Ocean Acidification Real-time SOAR Monitoring Program

SOAR Spring 2020 Report: Red Tide Edition | Coral Reef Ecology

Blog post from one of our collaborators at the National Park Service!

A couple weeks ago the Smith Lab participated in a synchronized water sample collection with the Navy, NOAA, and the National Park Service, collecting samples at locations along coastal San Diego.

The samples will be analyzed to see how water chemistry differs (or not) between coastal zones within a relatively small geographic area.

Maybe bombs were designed after urchins for a good reason! Nature is the best engineer

Snorkeller mistakes sea urchin for bomb A PAIR of sea urchins were confused for unexploded mines at Mosman last week, police said.

Great ocean acidification research happening at Scripps!!

Study Reveals Ocean Acidification’s Effects on Shrimp Biology Increased acidity linked to more calcium in shrimp shells and decreased shrimp transparency

Having fun with GoPro time lapse last week led to this snap shot of us suiting up - for fellow neoprene wearers, I'm sure its very relatable.

Cinco de mayo might have brought on a little silliness during our pier dive today
