BOdega Ocean Acidification Research

Since 2018, the BOAR research group has used a multi-pronged approach to study the emerging problem of ocean acidification and related multi-stressors, including:

  • oceanographic instruments and data syntheses to understand spatial and temporal changes in seawater chemistry

  • laboratory culturing and field based investigations to determine impacts of ocean acidification on the key coastal species

  • close collaborations with local communities, conservation groups, and aquaculture industry members

  • synergistic research with social scientists to understand the impact of these changes on coastal communities
