Explore a 36-minute press conference from the 2011 AGU Fall Meeting addressing the critical issue of ocean acidification and its impact on coral reefs. Delve into research findings that reveal how diminishing calcium carbonate levels are making reefs more fragile and prone to breakage. Gain insights from experts who examine naturally occurring instances of extreme acidification, simulate acidic conditions in laboratories, and study historical records to understand the mechanisms and extent of damage to shallow ocean ecosystems. Learn from PhD student Nina Keul, Research Professor Adina Paytan, and Research Professor Robert Riding as they present their findings on this pressing environmental concern.
