Katie Shamberger, assistant professor at Texas A&M University, checks the Remote Access Sampler (RAS) on Dongsha Atoll, a coral reef ecosystem in the South China Sea. The RAS is a robotic sampler that collect water samples on a programmed schedule to monitor changes in ocean chemistry, specifically pH, caused by internal waves. The project, led by WHOI scientist Anne Cohen, will provide new insights into the impact of ocean acidification on coral reef ecosystems worldwide.
