Since 2005, Dr. Barry and his team at the Monterey Bay Research Institute (MBARI) have depended upon Sierra mass flow controllers to help conduct experiments to discover how rapidly increasing atmospheric CO2 levels are affecting the enormous variety of marine animals in our seas. The Monterey Bay Research Institute (MBARI) sits on one of the most spectacular coastlines in the world. But beneath this beauty, the Monterey Bay and our oceans are changing rapidly due to the influx of CO2 in our atmosphere. According to Dr. Barry, a Benthic Biologist and Senior Scientist at MBARI, about 1/3 of human CO2 gas emissions in our atmosphere are absorbed by the ocean, making the ocean 30% more acidic than just 100 years ago. “Ocean Acidification” is the new term that has been coined to describe this process.
