Mesocosm off the coast of Svalbard

Researchers deployed nine ‘mesocosms’, eight-metre long floatation frames carrying a plastic bag with a capacity of 50 cubic metres, for a five-week long field study on ocean acidification conducted in the Kongsfjord off the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard. The results are published in the EGU open access journal "Biogeosciences":http://www.biogeosciences.net. (This image is free to use but attribution is required.)
