Changing Seas
Maug’s Caldera: A Natural Laboratory - Trailer
Preview: Season 8 Episode 803 | 4m 48sVideo has Closed Captions
The Maug Islands are a natural laboratory for scientists studying ocean acidification.
In the remote Pacific, the Maug Islands rise out of the sea. Formed by an ancient volcano, shallow hydrothermal vents are found close to corals here. These vents emit levels of CO2 that can be expected in the world’s oceans by the end of the century, making these waters a natural lab for scientists studying the impacts of ocean acidification on coral reefs. A coproduction with Open Boat Films.
