The deep sea is amongst the most food‐limited habitats on Earth, as only a small fraction (<
4%) of the surface primary production is exported below 200 m water depth. Here, cold …

It would not have been possible for me to write the three editions of this book without a
double dose of extraordinary fortune: to have been part of the Woods Hole scientific …

Ocean acidification (OA) is generally assumed to negatively impact calcification rates of
marine organisms. At a local scale however, biological activity of macrophytes may generate …

Cold-water corals, such as Lophelia pertusa, are key habitat-forming organisms found
throughout the world's oceans to 3000 m deep. The complex three-dimensional framework …

Coral reefs are iconic ecosystems that support diverse, productive communities in both
shallow and deep waters. However, our incomplete knowledge of cold-water coral (CWC) …

As we seek to pursue sustainable development, we all need an understanding of the ways–
environmental, social and economic–in which we humans interact with the world around us …

Oceans have the capacity to absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO 2) because CO 2
dissolves and reacts in seawater to form bicarbonate (HCO 3−) and protons (H+). About a …

The speciation and therefore bioavailability of the common pollutant copper is predicted to
increase within the pH range anticipated under near-future ocean acidification (OA), hence …

Cold-water corals (CWCs) form large mounds on the seafloor that are hotspots of
biodiversity in the deep sea, but it remains enigmatic how CWCs can thrive in this food …

Human activities are fundamentally altering the chemistry of the world's oceans. Ocean
acidification (OA) is occurring against a background of warming and an increasing …
