An innovative electrochemical technology offers a promising solution to de-acidify the oceans while removing carbon dioxide in the process. Find out more about it in this article.
Penguins and other marine wildlife are in peril as the acidity of Antarctic waters could double by the end of the century. Continue reading the article to find out more.
Increasing ocean temperature and acidification due to climate change affects the early life stage and shell morphology of sea butterflies in the Southern Ocean. Find out more in this article.
Ocean acidification caused by climate change affects Dungeness crabs' sense of smell, which is vital to how they survive and navigate around. Read to learn more.
Read on to know the link of acidification of Arctic Ocean to the melting ice. An international team of scientists has discovered that the western Arctic Ocean's acidity levels are rising three to four times quicker than other ocean waters, leading to fresh worries about the ocean's changing chemistry.
An international team of marine biologists constructed statistical analysis on the relationship between reef fish and coral diversity. The study suggests that a decline in coral diversity may lead to about 40-60% reef fish reduction depending on the location.
Ocean acidification and carbon gas emissions are critical in keeping track of climate change and their impacts on ecosystems worldwide. The Schmidt Family Foundation gave two separate grants for the continuous work of the Keeling Curve and collecting water samples in the Pacific and Atlantic.
Global warming is causing the Arctic Ocean to host phytoplankton blooms, the rapid growth of microalgae. This imbalance is causing a 'significant regime shift,' experts say.
When coral reefs and coralline algae were put to a test, the results show that there were not able to acclimatize to the acidification of the ocean waters.
Ocean acidification has more impact than just the increase of pH in the ocean, but it also made salmon to lose their ability to sense the predators and make them less afraid of the predator.
Scientists are rushing to find solutions to save coral reefs from extinction. Coral damage is brought about by climate change lashing out temperature spikes, rising sea levels, and ocean acidification.
Cold-water coral is a Marine invertebrate which is a special kind of Coral species. They withstand in the corrosive environment created by ocean acidification under the influence of ocean surface temperature.
While growing climate changes and ocean acidification pose particular threats to coral reef species around the world, it appears that researchers may have good news on the horizon. While many reefs have been well-documented and researched, a new study recently published in the journal Scientific Reports reveals that new reefs may be right under our noses, and they be far out of the tropics.
While many argue that the fight against greenhouse gases is long over, climatologists and ecologists continue to urge that the battle continues on. And while the culprits are all the same, the problems with these remnants of burning fossil fuels are taking on new problems. A topic of major research has developed from these changes and now researchers are quantify just how it will impact our world in the years to come.
