The Chesapeake Bay is the continental United States' largest estuary, spanning approximately 320 kilometers (200 miles) between northeastern Maryland and Virginia Beach. Like many coastal ecosystems, ...

A research team led by Prof. Li Mingsong at Peking University has provided new insights into the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) and its effects on ocean chemistry. The Paleocene-Eocene ...

Researchers have revealed that most coralline algae experience negative effects from ocean acidification. Analysis of previous studies showed that changes in ocean chemistry can lead to declines in ...

Ocean acidification arises from the uptake of anthropogenic CO₂ by seawater, causing shifts in carbonate chemistry that lower pH and reduce the saturation state of calcium carbonate minerals. In ...

The longest ocean time series of dissolved carbon dioxide in the Pacific — part of the “Keeling Curve of the ocean” — is revealed For the first time, scientists at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution ...

Human-induced increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide are altering the fundamental chemistry of the world’s oceans. As CO₂ dissolves in seawater, it forms carbonic acid, leading to a progressive ...

Ocean acidification, often referred to as “the other CO 2 problem”, was the focus of a dedicated training course for 19 early career scientists, jointly held by the IAEA and Swedish counterparts this ...

This adult 5-year-old red abalone has just released its eggs after spawning April 2, 2021. The tiny green dots on the bottom of the container are her eggs. (Isabelle Neylan/UC Davis) Stressful ...

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 ...
