This Feb 26 webinar was co-hosted by the Alaska OA Network and explored the need for responsible community engagement around mCDR, how it has been approached so far for field experiments, and developing strategies and resources for best practices. Watch the recorded session.

UAF’s Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy (ACCAP) hosted a webinar on Feb 25 to explore ocean acidification in Alaska including what we know about current conditions and species response. You can watch the recorded session with speakers Darcy Dugan (AOOS) and Natalie Monacci (University of Alaska Fairbanks).

Southeast Alaska is considered an ocean acidification hotspot and monitoring efforts from a multitude of groups have contributed to understanding conditions there. Check out a new 4-page brochure that includes maps of inside waters and how we can interpret what is known so far.

Members of the Alaska OA Network’s research community met on Jan 30 during the Alaska Marine Science Symposium to talk about recent science, interpretation of results, and ways to expand species response studies.

UAF’s Ocean Acidification Research Center is offering the opportunity to analyze ocean acidification samples by students. This is a great way to augment your project and work with new research partners.

January 8 is the international “Ocean Acidification Day of Action”. The date was selected because 8.1 is the current average pH of the ocean, and the collective goal is to prevent pH from decreasing below that level. The Ocean Foundation launched the inaugural day of action in 2019 and it is now observed internationally.
