HARRNESS : a framework for HAB research and monitoring in the United States for the next decade
(Oceanography Society, 2005-06)More than a decade ago, the U.S. approach to research on harmful algal blooms (HABs) was uncoordinated and modest in scale. Research groups were few and their work was piecemeal and constrained by small budgets that ... -
Ocean acidification : a critical emerging problem for the ocean sciences
(Oceanography Society, 2009-12)Over a period of less than a decade, ocean acidification—the change in seawater chemistry due to rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels and subsequent impacts on marine life—has become one of the most critical ...
