OIMB talk on acidification
Wednesday, July 22, 2009 | No comments posted.
Oregon's ocean is experiencing change. Water that upwells seasonally along the West Coast is growing increasingly acidic, according to a survey conducted in 2007 by an international team of scientists.
The Oregon Institute of Marine Biology will host a talk tonight on the topic.
Scientists, Dr. Burke Hales, an associate professor in the College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences at Oregon State University, will give a public lecture at 7 p.m. about the consequences for marine life. His talk is titled, "Acidification, carbon fluxes and hypoxia: Lessons from carbon cycle studies of Oregon coastal waters."
The talk will be held at the OIMB Boathouse. To get there, park at OIMB and walk down Boat Basin Drive past the U.S. Coast Guard housing.
