Changes in the ozone layer over the past two decades have resulted in increases in solar ultraviolet radiation that reach the surface of North American aquatic environments.

Concurrent changes in atmospheric CO2 are resulting in changes in stratification and precipitation that are affecting the chemical composition and light-induced processes of freshwaters and coastal marine environments.

Recent research has provided evidence that interactions of solar UV radiation and the chromophoric component of dissolved organic matter, often referred to as CDOM, may...
