Researchers working on a mesocosm deployed for the ocean-acidification study

Researchers check a ‘mesocosm’, an eight-metre long floatation frame carrying a plastic bag with a capacity of 50 cubic metres. Nine of these mesocosms were deployed 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.)
