attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String Acquisition Description for Tisler\\u00a0Reef Data:\n \nNet calcification was measured using the total alkalinity anomaly (Smith & Key\n1975; Ohde & Hossain 2004). Corals were individually placed in closed glass\nchambers (220 ml) in a water bath that maintained temperature to +/-0.2\ndegrees C during all trials. To avoid hypoxia or the severe reductions of pH\nduring incubations, ambient air was continuously bubbled into the chambers at\na slow rate (1-2 bubbles s-1). This also provided adequate circulation within\nthe chamber. A 60 ml water sample was collected by syringe before and after\nthe incubation period, and measured for total alkalinity in duplicate. The\nrespiration rate of each colony was measured as oxygen consumption in\na\\u00a0400 ml closed acrylic chamber during hour-long incubations. Dissolved\noxygen concentrations were measured in\\u00a0umol\\u00a0L-1\\u00a0using a\nStrathkelvin 782 dual oxygen meter and SI130\\u00a0microcathode\\u00a0electrode.\nThe feeding rate of each colony was measured as the capture rate of\nadult\\u00a0Artemia salina\\u00a0during a one-hour period in 0.8 L incubation\nchambers containing a starting prey density of 125\\u00a0Artemia\\u00a0L-1.\n \nAcquisition Description for Gulf of Mexico Data:\n \nThe buoyant weight of each colony was obtained at the start and end of the\ntwo-week experimental period by weighing fragments submerged in seawater and\nattached by a hook to an analytical balance (Denver\nInstrument,\\u00a0precision\\u00a0of 0.1 mg). The respiration rate of each\ncolony was measured as oxygen consumption in an 800 ml closed acrylic chamber\nduring hour-long incubations. Dissolved oxygen concentrations were measured\nin\\u00a0umol\\u00a0L-1\\u00a0using a Strathkelvin 782 dual oxygen meter and\nSI130\\u00a0microcathode\\u00a0electrode. The feeding rate of each colony was\nmeasured as the capture rate of adult\\u00a0Artemia salina\\u00a0during a one-\nhour period in 0.8 L incubation chambers containing a starting prey density of\n125\\u00a0Artemia\\u00a0L-1.

attribute NC_GLOBAL instruments_2_description String A miniaturized Clark-type dissolved oxygen instrument, including glass micro-sensors with minute tips (diameters ranging from 1 to 800 um). A gold or platinum sensing cathode is polarized against an internal reference and, driven by external partial pressure, oxygen from the environment penetrates through the sensor tip membrane and is reduced at the sensing cathode surface. A picoammeter converts the resulting reduction current to a signal. The size of the signal generated by the electrode is proportional to the flux of oxygen molecules to the cathode.The sensor also includes a polarized guard cathode, which scavenges oxygen in the electrolyte, thus minimizing zero-current and pre-polarization time.With the addition of a meter and a sample chamber, the respiration of a small specimen can be measured.  Example: Strathkelvin Inst. http://www.strathkelvin.com

attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_acronym String Lophelia OA
attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_description String The Gulf of Mexico deep water ecosystems are threatened by the persistent threat of ocean acidification. Deep-water corals will be among the first to feel the effects of this process, in particular the deep-water scleractinians that form their skeleton from aragonite. The continued shoaling of the aragonite saturation horizon (the depth below which aragonite is undersaturated) will place many of the known, and as yet undiscovered, deep-water corals at risk in the very near future. The most common deep-water framework-forming scleractinian in the world's oceans is Lophelia pertusa. This coral is most abundant in the North Atlantic, where aragonite saturation states are relatively high, but it also creates extensive reef structures between 300 and 600 m depth in the Gulf of Mexico where aragonite saturation states were previously unknown. Preliminary data indicate that pH at this depth range is between 7.85 and 8.03, and the aragonite saturation state is typically between 1.28 and 1.69. These are the first measurements of aragonite saturation state for the deep Gulf of Mexico, and are among the lowest Aragonite saturation state yet recorded for framework-forming corals in any body of water, at any depth.\nThis project will examine the effects of ocean acidification on L. pertusa, combining laboratory experiments, rigorous oceanographic measurements, the latest genome and transcriptome sequencing platforms, and quantitative PCR and enzyme assays to examine changes in coral gene expression and enzyme activity related to differences in carbonate chemistry. Short-term and long-term laboratory experiments will be performed at Aragonite saturation state of 1.45 and 0.75 and the organismal (e.g., survivorship and calcification rate) and genetic (e.g., transcript abundance) responses of the coral will be monitored. Genomic DNA and RNA will be extracted, total mRNA purified, and comprehensive and quantitative profiles of the transcriptome generated using a combination of 454 and Illumina sequencing technologies. Key genes in the calcification pathways as well as other differentially expressed genes will be targeted for specific qPCR assays to verify the Illumina sequencing results. On a research cruise, L. pertusa will be sampled (preserved at depth) along a natural gradient in carbonate chemistry, and included in the Illumina sequencing and qPCR assays. Water samples will be obtained by submersible-deployed niskin bottles adjacent to the coral collections as well as CTD casts of the water column overlying the sites. Water samples will be analyzed for pH, alkalinity, nitrates and soluble reactive phosphorus. These will be used in combination with historical data in a model to hindcast Aragonite saturation state.\nThis project will provide new physiological and genetic data on an ecologically-significant and anthropogenically-threatened deepwater coral in the Gulf of Mexico. An experimental system, already developed by the PIs, offers controlled conditions to test the effect of Aragonite saturation state on calcification rates in scleractinians and, subsequently, to identify candidate genes and pathways involved in the response to reduced pH and Aragonite saturation state. Both long-term and population sampling experiments will provide additional transcriptomic data and specifically investigate the expression of the candidate genes. These results will contribute to our understanding of the means by which scleractinians may acclimate and acclimatize to low pH, alkalinity, and Aragonite saturation state. Furthermore, the investigators will continue a time series of oceanographic measurements of the carbonate system in the Gulf of Mexico, which will allow the inclusion of this significant body of water in models of past and future ocean acidification scenarios.
