New US ocean acidification research grants from the National Science Foundation

02 October 2012


Below is the full list of PIs and collaborators affiliated with the new research grants on ocean acidification from the National Science Foundation (NSF). Projects will examine aspects of ocean acidification spanning deep time to nanoseconds and focus on spatial scales from global to molecular.
