Using the pH Scale and Carbonic Acid Formation to Understand the Effect of Ocean Acidification on Organisms with Calcium Carbonate Shells. part of Integrate:Workshops and Webinars:Teaching about Risk and Resilience:Activities
In this lab activity students use the pH scale and the reaction of carbon dioxide with water to understand ocean acidification and make predictions regarding the effect of ocean acidification on marine organisms by experimentally determining the effect of pH of calcite dissolution.

Ocean Acidification and the West Coast of North America part of Integrate:Workshops and Webinars:Teaching about Risk and Resilience:Real-World Examples
This educational case study page examines ocean acidification along the West Coast of North America, detailing its causes, impacts on marine ecosystems and shellfish industries, economic risks, and collaborative mitigation efforts, while providing teaching points and classroom application strategies for higher education.
