When most people hear the phrase "ocean acidification," they think of coral reefs, shellfish or declining fisheries. Those ...

A research team led by Prof. Li Mingsong at Peking University has provided new insights into the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) and its effects on ocean chemistry. The Paleocene-Eocene ...

Researchers have revealed that most coralline algae experience negative effects from ocean acidification. Analysis of previous studies showed that changes in ocean chemistry can lead to declines in ...

When squid are exposed to water with high levels of carbon dioxide, their brains shrink, the Society for Experimental Biology ...

Ocean acidification, driven by the uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide, is reshaping marine ecosystems by altering seawater chemistry in ways that affect organismal physiology, community structure ...

Human-induced increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide are altering the fundamental chemistry of the world’s oceans. As CO₂ dissolves in seawater, it forms carbonic acid, leading to a progressive ...

The acidification of the oceans caused by human activity is already altering the production of marine plankton shells in the Mediterranean Sea. This is the worrying conclusion of a study led by the ...

This adult 5-year-old red abalone has just released its eggs after spawning April 2, 2021. The tiny green dots on the bottom of the container are her eggs. (Isabelle Neylan/UC Davis) Stressful ...

Ocean acidification, often referred to as “the other CO 2 problem”, was the focus of a dedicated training course for 19 early career scientists, jointly held by the IAEA and Swedish counterparts this ...

The longest ocean time series of dissolved carbon dioxide in the Pacific — part of the “Keeling Curve of the ocean” — is revealed For the first time, scientists at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution ...

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 ...
