This impacts calcifications of marine organisms. Ocean acidification is hard to predict due to different responses of different organisms. Reconstructing past pH variability in the Sargasso Sea, we can differ pH changes from sea-surface temperature versus those of ocean circulation and biogeochemical changes. We show that ocean pH variability does not only reflect atmospheric CO2 trends, but over 90% of variability in the Sargasso Sea is accounted for by circulation and biogeochemical changes. Thursday, April 12, at 5:30 PM Concourse Level, Room 415A The Graduate Center, CUNY 365 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY Light snacks and refreshments will be served.
