Ocean Acidification Who we are We are a group of scientists who, in 2006, began to assess the chemical and biological effects of Ocean Acidification in the New Zealand context. Early on, we realised that seawater carbonate chemists and marine biologists needed to work together if we are to fully understand how OA might impact our coastal and open oceans. Originally, we were a group of scientists from the University of Otago (Departments of Botany, Chemistry and Marine Science) and the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research Ltd (NIWA); today, we collaborate with researchers across New Zealand and overseas. What we do OAR supports OA research across New Zealand, and especially at Otago.

Ocean acidification, Statistics NZ Our oceans have become more acidic by absorbing and storing the high levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted mainly from human activities. Ocean acidification is projected to continue for generations if substantial emissions of CO2 from human activities continue. Ocean acidification may cause widespread harm to our marine ecosystems. More acidic waters make shell-building harder for species with carbonate shells, affecting their survival, growth, and reproduction.

C. and Finlayson, B. L. and McMahon, T. A. (2007). State-by-state developments related to Hurricane Irene (CNN) -- On Friday, President Barack Obama said of Hurricane Irene that "all indications point to this being a historic hurricane." Numerous local, state and federal agencies, among other organizations, have taken steps in preparation. Here are some of those measures, for states most affected by Hurricane Irene: Irene was off the South Carolina coast on Friday, with its outer bands bringing gusty winds, heavy rain and dangerous surf.
