Could artificial ocean alkalinization protect tropical coral ecosystems from ocean acidification?

Artificial ocean alkalinization (AOA) is investigated as a method to mitigate local ocean acidification and protect tropical coral ecosystems during a 21st century high CO _2 emission scenario. Employing an Earth system model of intermediate complexity, our implementation of AOA in the Great Barrier...
