High school students collect seawater samples aboard the University of Alaska Fairbanks research vessel Nanuq.
We are analyzing seawater samples from the long term #GAKOA surface monitoring site. Here we observe seawater CO₂ to detect #OceanAcidification.
Thank you to the Seward high school National Ocean Science Bowl #NOSB team members for collecting samples!

Seward high school students and National Ocean Science Bowl team members visited the Gulf of Alaska #OceanAcidification mooring site #GAKOA last month aboard the RV Nanuq. 🛟🐻❄️
It's always sunny (with a side of snow) in Sunny Cove!

We have Conductivity/salinity and Temperature sensors on our surface moorings measuring seawater carbon dioxide and #OceanAcidification. #GAKOA
Comparisons between surface seawater pCO2 from selected moored buoy observations, including GAKOA in the northern Gulf of Alaska, and other mapped surface products
GAKOA, a surface buoy in the northern Gulf of Alaska, measures surface seawater carbon dioxide to track ocean acidification.
#GAKOA our long term surface buoy in the northern Gulf of Alaska was used by Sharp et al. to generate these new #OceanAcidification indicators. 🌊🦑🧪🛟
