Title of Contract, Award, or Gift: Assessments of Carbonate Chemistry Baseline and Potential Impact of Carbon Dioxide Addition in the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico Shelf Waters
Name of Granting or Contracting Agency/Entity:
Exxon Biomedical Sciences
Program Title: none
Note:
SAMs 1.1.1. - "...This proposed project includes the following tasks: 1). Identify water column datasets in both published and “gray” literature. 2). Use data summarized in Task 1) to generate carbonate chemistry baseline information and its variability for the nwGOM shelf. 3). Survey the literature for the distribution of heavy metals in the nwGOM shelf sediments, as metal toxicity in contaminated sediments could be enhanced under both natural and artificially induced acidification conditions. 4). Assess hydrodynamic conditions from the near coastal region to the shelf-slope edge and temporal variations. 5). Assess the benthic and pelagic biota distribution in the nwGOM and their seasonal “travel” patterns. 6). Survey the literature for threshold values for carbonate chemistry parameters, for example, critical carbonate saturation state, hypercapnia, and pH levels...."
