Acidic seas: understanding the threat of ocean acidification for marine life

June 27, 3:30pm - 4:30pm
Mānoa Campus, Waikiki Aquarium

Join us on Tuesday, June 27th in the Waikiki Aquarium Classroom from 3:30-4:30pm with Christopher Wall Ph.D(c) from Hawai脢禄i Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB).

Ocean acidification is a complex process where increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is progressively absorbed by the world芒鈧劉s oceans, resulting in changes to the chemistry and acidity (pH) of seawater. Changing seawater conditions can have serious consequences for marine life, including in reef-building corals which are integral to the structure and function of coral reef ecosystems. In my talk, I will discuss the causes and consequences of ocean acidification for coral reefs and what biological mechanisms may support species vulnerability or resilience to changing ocean conditions.
