Global warming poses a significant threat to human society. Rapid and substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are necessary measures to mitigate global warming. However, substantially ...

Since the Industrial Revolution, scientists estimate that the ocean has become around 30% more acidic from the uptake of ...

Environmentalists are embracing everything from kelp farming to societal CO2 reduction strategies to turn the tide on ocean ...

Wei-Jun Cai, an expert in marine chemistry at the University of Delaware, is sounding new alarm bells about the changing chemistry of the western region of the Arctic Ocean, where he and an ...

An international research team develops a rubric for governments and policymaking bodies to evaluate preparedness for ocean acidification. In a paper published today in the journal Environmental ...

The world’s oceans stow vast amounts of carbon dioxide. Now, a growing group of scientists and companies say they’ve found a way to increase that storage capacity by tweaking ocean water chemistry.

A more acidic ocean could give some species a glow-up. As the pH of the ocean decreases as a result of climate change, some bioluminescent organisms might get brighter, while others see their lights ...

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 ...

The annual report from the Potsdam Institute indicates that we have already surpassed seven of the nine thresholds set for ecosystem survival. Human activity continues to push the planet Earth beyond ...
