SO298 Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) Incubation

Created 13/03/2025

Updated 13/03/2025

To investigate how the unavoidable physical and chemical perturbations associated with Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) could influence marine plankton communities and how potential side-effects compare to impacts of climate change, we conducted 19 ship-based experiments in the Equatorial Pacific, examining three prevalent OAE source (NaOH, olivine, and steel slag) and their impacts on natural phytoplankton populations. Our experiments simulated realistic and moderate alkalinity enhancements between 29-16 μmol kg-1. The monitored parameters included total chlorophyll-a concentrations, macro nutrients, trace elements, total alkalinity, Fv/Fm, pH,and flowcytometry.
