Outline

The ocean acidification induced by the increase of anthropogenic CO2 cause reduction of calcification by marine calcifiers such as corals and coralline algae. The aim of this project is to develop a compact continuous flow through pH-alkalinity analyzer. This will enable to monitor and evaluate the impact of ocean acidification on the marine carbonate chemistry and marine ecosystems at higher resolution time and spatial scale.
