For more than 200 years, or since the industrial revolution, the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO 2) in the atmosphere has increased due to the burning of fossil fuels and land use change. The ...

Across the globe, oceans are acidifying as they absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, threatening coral reefs and many other marine organisms. A new study, led by oceanographers at the University ...

Our oceans are in trouble, and new research from Flinders University shows how changes in diatoms (microalgae) could further undermine the foundation of aquatic food webs—as well as vital deep-sea ...

If you liked this story, share it with other people. Scientists have known for decades that soaring atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions are causing changes in ocean chemistry, threatening marine life ...

When most people hear the phrase "ocean acidification," they think of coral reefs, shellfish or declining fisheries. Those concerns are real. But while working on our recent research, I found myself ...

Knor and co-authors analyzed a 35‐year record of ocean carbon measurements made by the Hawaiʻi Ocean Time-series program throughout the entire water column—from the surface to nearly 3 miles deep—at ...

The oceans have absorbed a significant portion of all anthropogenic (CO 2) emissions (approximately a third of the CO 2 emitted from fossil fuel emissions, cement production and deforestation; Sabine ...

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 ...
