Purpose
|
|
Collection of pore and surface waters to understand the pH ranges and pCO2
|
|
variability which are integral in the ocean acidification projects
|
|
|
Information to be Derived
|
|
Porewater samples are collected at various depths in the carbonate sediments to
|
|
determine the location of the Redox boundary. This boundary varies with
|
|
temperature, wave dynamics, etc. Samples are analyzed for pCO2 and alkality
|
|
which are used in understanding the role that ocean acidification has on
|
|
carbonate (reef) development/dissolution.
|
|
|
Summary
|
|
Samples were collected and pH analyses completed on site. Nutrient, pCO2
|
|
analyses are in queue for analyses.
