      Planchat, Alban; Kwiatkowski, Lester; Bopp, Laurent; Torres, Olivier; Christian, James R.; Butenschon, Momme; Lovato, Tomas; Séférian, Roland; Chamberlain, Matthew; Aumont, Olivier; Watanabe, Michio; Yamamoto, Akitomo; Yool, Andrew; Ilyina, Tatiana; Tsujino, Hiroyuki; Krumhardt, Kristen; Schwinger, Jörg; Tjiputra, Jerry; Dunne, John; Stock, Charles (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Ocean alkalinity is critical to the uptake of atmospheric carbon in surface waters and provides buffering capacity towards the associated acidification. However, unlike dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), alkalinity is not ...
    • Sudden emergence of a shallow aragonite saturation horizon in the Southern Ocean 

      Negrete-Garcia, Gabriela; Lovenduski, Nicole; Hauri, Claudine; Krumhardt, Kristen; Lauvset, Siv Kari (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Models project that with current CO2 emission rates, the Southern Ocean surface will be undersaturated with respect to aragonite by the end of this century1,2,3,4. This will result in widespread impacts on biogeochemistry ...
