Sentences with phrase «provided by seawater»

Compared to upstream marshes, which are typically nutrient - poor, the Shark River swamp region is nutrient - rich thanks to phosphorous provided by seawater.

Not exact matches

Startup Nautilus Data Technologies is trying to develop a floating data center on a barge that it believes would save companies money on their energy bills by providing easy access to seawater.

These videos produced by Plymouth Marine Laboratory provide information about ocean acidification and raises awareness of the implications associated with increasing levels of carbon dioxide and changes in seawater pH levels.

This task can be achieved by providing proxy - based reconstructions of seawater pH, carbonate ion concentrations, and pCO2 along with the response of the marine calcifiers during key intervals of the Late Quaternary.

In contrast, the revised paradigm of anthropogenic impacts on seawater pH accommodates the full range of realized and future trends in pH of both open - ocean and coastal ecosystems and provides an improved framework to understand and model the dynamic pH environment of coastal ecosystems, with observed daily fluctuations often exceeding the range of mean pH values estimated for the open ocean as a consequence of OA during the twenty - first century by GCMs (Price et al. 2012; Tables 1 and 2).

We propose here a new paradigm of anthropogenic impacts on seawater pH. This new paradigm provides a canonical approach towards integrating the multiple components of anthropogenic forcing that lead to changes in coastal pH. We believe that this paradigm, whilst accommodating that of OA by anthropogenic CO2, avoids the limitations the current OA paradigm faces to account for the dynamics of coastal ecosystems, where some ecosystems are not showing any acidification or basification trend whilst others show a much steeper acidification than expected for reasons entirely different from anthropogenic CO2 emissions.

«Ocean pH tells us about the amount of carbon absorbed by ancient seawater, but we can get even more information by also considering changes in the isotopes of carbon, as these provide an indication of its source,» says Andy Ridgwell, co-author of the study.

Radiation from a molecule at -80 C therefore can not provide enough energy in the form of photons, to warm molecules (by boosting electrons into higher, more energetic orbits) at -4 C or above (seawater temperatures).
