Ocean acidification is sinking into marine regions as deep as 1500 metres, posing new threats to organisms like sea butterflies, sea snails and cold-water corals. The ocean is the largest natural sink ...

Ocean acidification, a growing global concern linked to rising carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, is having increasingly ...

Ocean acidification is the lowering of seawater pH over time, as the ocean absorbs carbon dioxide (CO 2) from the atmosphere. The pH scale is used to measure how acidic or basic a water-based solution ...

Ocean acidification is often described as the evil twin of climate change. Prof Richard Twitchett explains what ocean acidification is and what it could mean for the planet. Earth's oceans are ...

BEIJING, Dec. 22 (Xinhua) -- A collaborative study by Chinese and U.S. scientists has revealed how a massive carbon release 56 million years ago impacted ocean chemistry, offering critical insights ...

Ocean acidification strips seawater of the materials that marine animals — such as corals, plankton and shellfish — use to build their shells and skeletons. This can stunt growth or cause deformations ...

Sign our petition to help protect ocean life from ocean acidification. Shell-forming animals like corals, crabs, oysters and urchins are getting hit first because ocean acidification robs seawater of ...

What is the 'other carbon dioxide problem'? How are humans driving changes in the chemistry of the ocean, and what might this mean for marine ecosystems in the future?

In their paper published in the journal Science Advances, Jens Müller and Nicolas Grube describe the factors that went into their model and what it showed them about ocean acidification around ...

This study, entitled “Coupled decline in ocean pH and carbonate saturation during the Palaeocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum” published in Nature Geoscience reconstructs ocean acidification during this ...
