Achievement at a glance
Plymouth Marine Laboratory is also committed to examine the impacts of ocean acidification and other climate change stressors in the Arctic Ocean through its leadership of a new research programme Pathways and emissions of climate-relevant trace gases the a changing Arctic Ocean (PETRA). PETRA will combine chemical and biological observations with modelling to investigate the impact of three important stressors - ocean acidification, warming waters, and elevated irradiation - on the cycling of key trace gases in the Arctic Ocean which play a large part in controlling our climate. PETRA will measure full carbonate chemistry and carry out ocean acidification manipulation experiments to investigate its impact on climate-relevant trace gases during research cruises in 2018 and 2019.
