Variability in storm season intensity modulates ocean acidification conditions in the northern Strait of Georgia by Wiley Evans, Katie Campbell, Carrie Weekes, Justin Del Bel Belluz, Jessy Barrette, Drew Jordison, Chris Mackenzie, Jonathan Bergshoeff, Carolyn Prentice, Rosie Savage, Isabelle Desmarais, Bryn Fedje, Emma Myers, Kimberly Bedard, Alex Hare, Ian J. W. Giesbrecht, Colleen T. E. Kellogg, Zoe Sandwith, Jennifer M. Jackson

“…This sensitivity to the storm season intensity highlights how vulnerable the northern Strait of Georgia is to subtle changes in environmental forcing and provides some predictive capacity for OA conditions over the coming year. These results illustrate that OA is not a “slow burn” process within weakly-buffered settings, but rather invokes periods of intensification with poorly understood biological implications.…”
