Expect the Unexpected: Acidic Oceans
resulted in difficulties with comparability of data, and an assortment of the four parameters being measured in various experiments (9). Therefore, not only an appreciation of ecological variables is required but also standardisations in methods for measuring OA across the scientific community. Freshwater Systems Acidification of freshwater was a problem that was first identified in Scandinavia during the early 1970s. Freshwater ecosystems typically have a neutral pH, but inconsistencies can occur between acidic or alkaline (10), depending on factors such as rainfall and buffering capacity. The acidity

in the nation dedicated solely to the study of freshwater. The School’s mission is to train the next generation of freshwater professionals and researchers and to advance fundamental and strategic science to inform policy, improve management, and promote the health and sustainability of freshwater systems worldwide. SFS is located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, at the edge of the largest freshwater system on the Earth's surface--the Great Lakes. Established in 2009, SFS expands a tradition of freshwater studies at UW-Milwaukee that began in 1966 with the Center for Great Lakes Studies and continued
