Photoautotrophic marine ecosystems can lock up organic carbon in their biomass and the
associated organic sediments they trap over millennia and are thus regarded as blue carbon …

The environmental conditions in the ocean have long been considered relatively more
stable through time compared to the conditions on land. Advances in sensing technologies …

The interaction of coral reefs, both chemically and physically, with the surrounding seawater
is governed, at the smallest scales, by turbulence. Here, we review recent progress in …

The carbonate budget of a reef describes the net rate of carbonate production resulting from
various biologically-, physically-and chemically-driven production and erosion processes …

Abstract Purpose of Review We summarize recent progress on autonomous observations of
ocean carbonate chemistry and the development of a network of sensors capable of …

Coral reefs are built of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) produced biogenically by a diversity of
calcifying plants, animals, and microbes. As the ocean warms and acidifies, there is …

The impacts of ocean deoxygenation on biodiversity and ecosystem function are well
established in temperate regions, and here we illustrate how the study of hypoxia in tropical …

It has been hypothesized that highly productive coastal ecosystems, such as seagrass
meadows, could lead to the establishment of ocean acidification (OA) refugia, or areas of …

Marine coastal zones are highly productive, and dominated by engineer species (eg
macrophytes, molluscs, corals) that modify the chemistry of their surrounding seawater via …

Hydrodynamic consequences of using simpler geometric shapes to represent coral
canopies are examined through a laboratory study. A canopy composed of cylinders is …
