Brief description Free ocean carbon enrichment infrastructure for the Southern Ocean: measuring impacts of ocean acidification on biological communities. As the amount of carbon dioxide has risen in the atmosphere there has been a corresponding rise of carbon dioxide going into the ocean, changing its chemistry and making it more acidic. The project will conduct the first polar region carbon dioxide enrichment experiment to assess the vulnerability of polar organisms to continuing carbon dioxide emissions.
