Sentences with phrase «ph submarine groundwater»

The shallow coral reefs off Kahekili, West Maui, are exposed to nutrient - enriched, low - pH submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) and are particularly vulnerable to the compounding stressors from land - based sources of pollution and lower seawater pH. To constrain the carbonate chemistry system, nutrients and carbonate chemistry were measured along the Kahekili reef flat every 4 h over a 6 - day sampling period in March 2016.

Not exact matches

Submarine volcanic vents or groundwater seeps can also lead to high CO2 and low pH in surface coastal waters.

Groundwater with a low carbonate saturation state (Ω ≈ 0.5) and reduced pH (6.70 — 7.30) seeps through the seafloor, creating localized low seawater pH in the natural submarine groundwater springs at Puerto Morales, Mexico (Crook et al. 2012).
