Researchers at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, believe that rising carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will acidify the ocean s surface waters in any case and pumping some of the carbon into the ocean depths could slow that process.

Kenneth Johnson is a Senior Scientist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. His research interests are focused on the development of new analytical methods for chemicals in seawater and application of these tools to studies of chemical cycling throughout the ocean. His group has developed a variety of analytical methods for analyzing metals present at ultratrace concentrations in seawater. His expertise lies in trace metal analysis and instrumentation. The creation of reference materials to calibrate these instruments is important for the production of long-term, high-precision datasets. Dr. Johnson has participated on the NRC Committee on Marine Environmental Monitoring and the Marine Chemistry Study Panel.

Feasibility of Large-Scale CO2 Ocean Sequestration. This project, operated by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute will usea Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) to deploy small quantities of liquid CO2 in the deep ocean. Below about 10,000 feet the density of liquid CO2 exceeds that of seawater, and the liquid CO2 is quickly converted into a solid hydrate by reacting with the surrounding water. Using a Raman spectrometer, scientists will assess the impact that the CO2 hydrate material has on the ocean floor and ecosystem.

Figure 10.9 A chambered MFC in place on the seafloor near the MARS Observatory. Each MFC also carried an osmotic-pump sampler (mounted on the left side of the picture) designed to draw small water samples from the chambers throughout the deployment. The sensor and modem (outside the photo) were suspended above the carbon brush cathode that is pictured above the chamber. Lead weights are visible, fixed to the underside of the chamber hd. Image captured from high resolution underwater video recorded from the ROV Ventana operated by Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. (See insert for color representation of this figure.)...
