Earth's oceans are changing due to rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Museum palaeontologist Prof Richard Twitchett explains, 'Ocean acidification is a change in the pH of seawater, ...

Ocean acidification is the lowering of seawater pH over time ... While the ocean is still basic or alkaline, scientists have observed that its pH levels are dropping as the ocean absorbs levels of CO ...

Ocean acidification, driven by CO2 emissions, harms marine ecosystems. Acidification reached 1,000 meters on average by 2014.

A pair of environmental physicists at the Institute of Biogeochemistry and Pollutant Dynamics, ETH Zurich, has built a 3D ...

The levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases like methane and nitrous oxide have been steadily rising for many ...

Ocean acidification is mainly caused by carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere dissolving into the ocean. This leads to a lowering of the water's pH, making the ocean more acidic ... Many factors ...

Coral reefs are growing more slowly in certain parts of the world due to acidification, and most of the world’s corals are living in seawater conditions that are close to the threshold they can ...

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?

This marks the first time that ocean acidification has ... less able to recover if the ocean's pH continues to drop. The team replicated the ocean acidity levels that are likely to be present ...

Will organisms be able to adapt to the new ocean chemistry ... and subject them to different levels of acidification. Her results so far suggest that lower pH leads to declines in fertilization ...

Using a 3D model of the world's oceans, the researchers examined how carbon emissions since the industrial age have impacted ...
