Assignment: Ocean Acidification Activity - Davis Strait
In summer 2015, the United States Geological Survey Arctic Ocean Acidification team boarded the R/V Atlantis to study water parameters in the Davis Strait. Visit the website linked below and answer the following questions in complete sentences. Be sure to look at the 2015Davis Strait/Arctic Cruise section on the left side to find the subheadings listed below. Once in the cruise journal, scroll down to get each subsequent entry.
