A new $1.1 million grant led by ecologist Francis Chan will track and measure the effects of hypoxia on marine species and habitats in Oregon.

Size is the main factor that predicts how calcifying organisms will respond to ocean acidification, according to a new study by biology Ph.D. candidate Allison Barner.

Ecologist Francis Chan has been monitoring pH levels off the Oregon coast, whose waters are world hotspot for ocean acidification.

Scientists from the Department of Integrative Biology have found that for reef-building corals, not just any symbiotic algae will do.

The Oregon coast is now facing annual threats from hypoxia, or low oxygen, and scientists liken the phenomenon to wildfire season.

Science faculty and students are hosting a screening of the movie Chasing Corals, followed by a panel of six OSU scientists specializing in coral reefs in hopes of educating people about what the future holds for these precious ecosystems and how to help.

A free public lecture will untangle the role faith and values play in shaping our attitudes and reactions to the complex science behind global warming.

Marine biologist Jane Lubchenco and an international team of scientists have found that marine reserves can help protect the planet from global warming.

A three-year survey of the California Current System found persistent, highly acidified water throughout this ecologically critical nearshore habitat.
