Hypoxia and Ocean Acidification project
- 1. Understanding, Forecasting And Communicating The Linkages Between Hypoxia And Ocean Acidification In Oregon's Coastal Ocean Francis Chan1,Kristen Milligan1, Jack Barth2 1Department of Zoology, Oregon State University 2College of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, Oregon State University
- 2. The Problem from 35,000 feet: Hypoxia and Ocean Acidification are Leading Pathways of Ecosystem Changes Changes in aragonite solubility % oxygen change Oschlies et al. GBC 2008 Feely et al. Oceanography 2009
- 3. Locally, Oregon’s coastal ocean is facing these changes today…and they are closely connected ocean acidification pCO2 (μatm) DO (ml l-1) hypoxia SH-70 mooring
- 4. 1. Where and when are hypoxia and OA most strongly coupled? [Are there hot spots (and refuges) where this multi-stressor problem is most strongly (weakly) felt?]
- 5. Why do we ask this? 1-biologically, OA and hypoxia stress can be interactive 2- we already see a mosaic-like pattern of hypoxia stress GLODAP NE Pacific Aragonite Solubility Pierce and Barth (in prep) DO (umol kg-1) 3- hypoxia and OA stress are not perfectly coupled (*especially in the
- 6. 2. What forcings drive the variation in hypoxia-OA coupling? [What will we face in the future, and how fast will these changes came?]
- 7. Why do we ask this? 1- Bigger and faster changes in the coastal ocean (?) observed Dore et al. 2008 ca. 20 umol kg-1 DIC increase Modeled (w/wind and sourcewater) 2- Nearshore hypoxia sensitive to changes in open ocean oxygen content and upwelling wind Pierce et al. 2012 forcing (both climate sensitive features)

- 10. Some Outreach Challenges: •Ocean acidification is causing dead zones •OA is a remote tropical island problem •OA and hypoxia will wipe out any benefits of reserves •www.Ilovecarbondioxide.com
- 11. Where do we want to get to collectively •Enhance Oregon as a model system for OA- hypoxia research (OA-hypoxia Townhalls) •Inform the public with the best available science (and messaging in the most effective way) •Inform policy with the best available science
