Some coral reefs in the Pacific Ocean can not only survive
but thrive in waters that have high levels of acidification, according to a
Texas A&M University researcher.
Oceanographer Katie Shamberger and colleagues from Woods
Hole Oceanographic Institution and the Palau International Coral Reef Center
(PICRC) examined coral reefs around the islands of Palau in the western Pacific
Ocean. Her findings have been published
in Geophysical Research Letters, a publication of the American Geophysical
Union.
