What do we do? Looking at the preliminary results from the mesocosms we adapt our research to go deeper into more specific details of OAE. In doing so, we discuss a lot, we change plans many times, and we re-adapt our scientific questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our primary focus is on how OAE could be applied in the real world, searching for threshold values where alkalinisation is becoming less efficient or damaging for the phytoplankton community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The side experiments are performed using fjord and\/or mesocosm waters and after our manipulations, our bottles are kept in an incubator box with blue foils outside. The foils help to keep the right light in the incubators, mimicking the light intensity that occurs in the surface water of the fjord and the mesocosms. And inside the incubator, there\u2019s a continuous flow of water pumped from 40m depth from the fjord. I can assure you: it\u2019s incredibly cold and it\u2019s not always pleasant to put our hands inside the box to search for our numerous bottles!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important aspect of the side experiments is that they could last a few days, and this is allowing us to re-adjust the approach and\/or perform several experiments one after the other or perform \u201cshot experiments\u201d that last only 48h when we need specific data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So far, we collected a big number of data\u2026but stay tuned: a few more experiments are running, and we are looking forward to knowing more about the potential of OAE!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/oceannets\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/78\/2022\/07\/IMG_2539-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"318\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/oceannets\/?attachment_id=318#main\" class=\"wp-image-318\"\/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Measuring pH<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/oceannets\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/78\/2022\/07\/signal-2022-06-29-115101_002.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"316\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/oceannets\/?attachment_id=316#main\" class=\"wp-image-316\"\/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Daily sampling<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/oceannets\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/78\/2022\/07\/signal-2022-07-02-142457_001.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"317\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.oceanblogs.org\/oceannets\/?attachment_id=317#main\" class=\"wp-image-317\"\/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Incubator box<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Giulia Faucher Pictures: Giulia Faucher, Carl Lim &amp; Julieta&nbsp;Schneider At the station, if you see 2, 3 or even 4 people running up and down from the lab to a blue incubator box and vice versa, several times every day, that\u2019s us: the side experiment team!
