ODF designed an automated titration system and LabView software for the determination of dissolved oxygen in seawater that can be used both onshore and at sea. Contact Susan Becker for details and ...
The study reveals a disturbing trend. Across all aquatic environments, from lakes and rivers to coastal waters and the open ocean, dissolved oxygen levels have dropped substantially in recent decades.
Dissolved oxygen analyses are performed with an SIO/ODF-designed automated oxygen titrator using photometric end-point detection based on the absorption of 365nm wavelength ultra-violet light. The ...
Yet when governments and corporate investors are pouring huge amounts of money and resources into moonshot carbon capture ...
In the vibrant yet fragile waters of the Gulf of Oman, spectacular phytoplankton blooms – visible even from space – unfold in ...
Productivity fuels life in the ocean, drives its chemical cycles, and lowers atmospheric carbon dioxide. Nutrient uptake and export interact with circulation to yield distinct ocean regimes.
Ocean ecosystems play a critical role in carbon storage and oxygen generation ... Some plankton combine calcium and dissolved carbonates to form a calcium carbonate protective coating like ...
Through one of the primary carbon storage mechanisms, the biological carbon pump, phytoplankton (microscopic marine plants at the bottom of the oceanic food chain) take up CO 2 in the surface ocean ...
Important state variables measured for parcels of water in the ocean are therefore temperature, which is related to the heat content, salinity, which is related to the amount of dissolved matter ...
"Activity of microorganisms in the ocean played a central role in the evolution of atmospheric oxygen. However, we think this would not have immediately led to atmospheric oxygenation because the ...
