The poster, based on over five months of close observation, presented the potential of kelp in mitigating ocean acidification at a local scale. Essentially, kelp can provide a more buffered pH environment &#8211; a form of shelter &#8211; to marine organisms. However, it was observed that the impacts quickly diminished after the kelp were harvested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/Figure-2-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-181491\" style=\"width:537px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/Figure-2-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/Figure-2-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/Figure-2-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/Figure-2-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/Figure-2-2-364x273.jpg 364w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/Figure-2-2-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/Figure-2-2-1000x750.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/Figure-2-2-1280x960.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/Figure-2-2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A three-generation chemical oceanographers reunion in front of Fiona&#8217;s poster at OCB 2023<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">May 26, 2023<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Linquan Mu, a former Postdoc from URI-GSO, published &#8220;Considerations for hypothetical carbon dioxide removal via alkalinity addition in the Amazon River watershed&#8221; in Biogeosciences, <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5194\/bg-20-1963-2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5194\/bg-20-1963-2023<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">May 3, 2023<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fiona, Hongjie, and Captain Blaney wrap up the kelp project monitoring work.

Their proposal titled \u201c Drivers of ocean acidification in a temperate urbanized estuary undergoing nutrient loading reductions\u201d is awarded by NSF-Chemical Oceanography (06\/01\/2023 ~05\/31\/2026). This project will leverage the existing water quality monitoring network, collect new data, and utilize a coastal biogeochemical model to quantify the variability of OA and the mechanisms driving its change in Narragansett Bay. Ph.D. student Abby Baskind from Wang lab will lead the integration of the OA module into the biogeochemical model. Through engagement with public and local shellfish growers, we will increase their awareness of OA and enhance their ability to site new aquaculture operations in the near and long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"841\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/Figure-from-insitu-HW-1024x841.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-179755\" style=\"width:300px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/Figure-from-insitu-HW-1024x841.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/Figure-from-insitu-HW-300x246.jpg 300w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/Figure-from-insitu-HW-768x631.jpg 768w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/Figure-from-insitu-HW-364x299.jpg 364w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/Figure-from-insitu-HW-500x411.jpg 500w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/Figure-from-insitu-HW-1000x821.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/Figure-from-insitu-HW.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Figure from insitu HW<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Feb 9, 2023<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our sensor made it through another round of winter storms!
