A new set of buoys in Alaska waters will help scientists understand how climate change may be affecting the pH level of northern seas. University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) researchers placed the first buoy last month. These factors increase the transport of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into surface waters.
