Let’s dive into the science behind ocean alkalinization! The ocean is getting more and more acidic. Can we solve it by emptying a giant bottle of antacid into the ocean? No… but the idea of lowering ...

New research from the University of St Andrews has found that some coastal areas will become much more acidic than previously anticipated. With added atmospheric CO 2, these areas are acidifying more ...

For more than 200 years, or since the industrial revolution, the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO 2) in the atmosphere has increased due to the burning of fossil fuels and land use change. The ...

Our oceans are in trouble, and new research from Flinders University shows how changes in diatoms (microalgae) could further undermine the foundation of aquatic food webs—as well as vital deep-sea ...

Across the globe, oceans are acidifying as they absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, threatening coral reefs and many other marine organisms. A new study, led by oceanographers at the University ...

If you liked this story, share it with other people. Scientists have known for decades that soaring atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions are causing changes in ocean chemistry, threatening marine life ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 13 and SDG 14. Growing human reliance on marine resources has disrupted marine ecosystems, with ocean acidification emerging as a ...

An unhealthy sea butterfly, or pteropod, showing effects of ocean acidification including ragged, dissolving shell ridges on upper surface, a cloudy shell in lower right quadrant, and severe abrasions ...

Knor and co-authors analyzed a 35‐year record of ocean carbon measurements made by the Hawaiʻi Ocean Time-series program throughout the entire water column—from the surface to nearly 3 miles deep—at ...

My name is Ned Gable and I am currently an Environmental Science and Chemistry double major at the University of Mary Washington. I was born and raised in Richmond, Virginia. I am a PADI Divemaster ...

The oceans have absorbed a significant portion of all anthropogenic (CO 2) emissions (approximately a third of the CO 2 emitted from fossil fuel emissions, cement production and deforestation; Sabine ...
