Read MoreNew Study Links Global Ocean Processes with Local Coral Reef Chemistry
Five years of data collected on reefs and offshore in Bermuda shows that coral reef chemistry – and perhaps the future success of corals – is tied not only to the human carbon emissions causing systematic ocean acidification, but also to seasonal and decadal cycles in the open waters of the Atlantic, and the balance of biochemical processes in the coral reef community
Read MoreBIOS Time Series Helps Scientists Confirm Ocean Acidification
In a unique collaboration researchers from around the globe have studied data from seven time-series and found that despite the varying geographic locations, each of the time-series sites exhibited similar changes in ocean chemistry due to anthropogenic CO2, confirming what many scientists have believed for years: ocean acidification is indeed changing ocean chemistry

By the end of its first decade, BATS supported 60 different research groups conducting time-series projects near Bermuda, with many scientists using BATS data to make fundamental discoveries about the cycling of trace metals and their relationship with ocean biology, the role of eddies in the cycling of nutrients, and the role of the ocean in the global carbon cycle
