1/n This study led by @aaronferderer.bsky.social tested how 5 diatom species respond to broad ranges of seawater carbonate conditions. Goal was to determine carbonate chemistry niches and to inform Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) and Ocean Acidification (OA) 🌊 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Excited to see researchers around the world embarking on their own OAEPIIP experiments!! The experiment these researchers are undertaking was the focus of the first chapter of my PhD thesis and will hopefully help us identify common responses to OAE across environmental and geographic gradients

If you are interested in marine carbon dioxide removal (#mCDR) in general and Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (#OAE) specifically than consider following the scientist of our "applied marine biogeochemistry" team in Tasmania. A short intro to everyone's expertise. 👇🌊

Would marine calcifiers such as coccolithophores benefit from changes in carbonate chemistry under ocean alkalinity enhancement? @bachlennart.bsky.social and I tried to answer this question in a new natural analogue study out now in Nature Geoscience! @naturegeosci.bsky.social 🌊🧪 rdcu.be/d9zdH 1/10
