With a global average pH of 8.1 ocean water is slightly alkaline. But the good news is that our bodies can handle it – ...

Ocean acidification, caused by the ongoing absorption of atmospheric CO₂, poses threats to marine ecosystems and biodiversity ...

Stanford scientists found that dramatic climate changes after the Great Dying enabled a few marine species to spread globally ...

The head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Jane Lubchenco, a marine ecologist, has called ocean acidification global warming's "equally evil twin." The pH scale, which ...

The world's oceans are in trouble. Every day, 22 million tons of carbon dioxide from factories, cars, power plants and other human sources are absorbed by the world's oceans. The result? A frightening ...

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 ...

The OA-ICC is an IAEA Peaceful Uses Initiative project launched at the UN Rio+20 conference in 2012 following increasing concern from IAEA Member States about ocean acidification. The Centre responds ...

Ocean acidification, a consequence of climate change caused by the ocean’s absorption of carbon dioxide (CO 2), is threatening the environment. Because of its global scale, addressing ocean ...

This is the metadata section. Skip to content viewer section. Ocean acidification is changing the nature of inorganic carbon availability in the global oceans. Diatoms account for ~ 40% of all marine ...

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?
