The amount of carbon that remains as cell material determines the role that ocean biology plays in locking up atmospheric carbon dioxide in the ocean. (sciencedaily.com)
Other than telling us that coral reefs (and Pelagic ecosystems) are in trouble — I have already kissed the coral reefs goodbye due to temperature increases alone — no firm conclusions were drawn about ocean acidification and its affects on ocean biology. (realclimate.org)
Specific examples of fertile combinations of programs from widely different fields are the work of Wallace Broecker on the role of ocean biology in climate change (should we call him an oceanographer or a geochemist?) (history.aip.org)
