Carbon II - Understanding alkalinity - Andrew Dickson

Understanding alkalinity is one of the "eight-thousanders" in marine biogeochemistry. Luckily, we have Prof. Andrew Dickson, who has mapped this dangerous territory like few others have before. In this episode, I asked Andrew to go on a trip with a steep learning curve. We navigated acid-base equilibria, organic alkalinity, the future of Certified Reference Materials and could just get around a disastrous debate on pH scales. This was the first episode I ever recorded. So, climbing Mount Everest with zero experience. What could possibly go wrong?!
