Scientists around the world rely on ocean monitoring tools to measure the effects of climate change. Researchers at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and their industry partners have advanced the technology available to measure carbon dioxide in the ocean.
Monitoring carbon dioxide levels in the ocean creates the information needed to develop climate change adaptation plans, said Claudine Hauri, an oceanographer on the team and IARC's deputy director. After their technological success with the carbon dioxide sensor, the team decided to monitor a different greenhouse gas -- methane. They equipped a Seaglider with a methane sensor, and the addition is now in the testing phase.
Hauri said there's one more challenge that the Seaglider team wants to overcome -- the extreme conditions in waters around Alaska.
