Acidification
New ocean acidification studyWorld Fishing | 23 Apr 2013A new study published in the 'Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA' has revealed a new insight into the potential effects of ocean acidification on the sensory function of larval tropical cobia.
Acidification | Fish | Research The Geological Record of Ocean Acidificationjournalistsresource.org | 19 Mar 2013In the past, studies of large-scale changes to the Earths oceans have been restricted both by the limited nature of physical sampling and the reality that often these changes occur over great lengths of time. A 2012 paper published in the journal Science, The Geological Record of Ocean Acidification, takes a new approach by examining the geological record to determine levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, global temperatures and ocean acidification over the past 300 million years.
Acidification | Research International coordination to address ocean acidificationUNESCO | 11 Oct 2012Ocean acidification experts expressed increasing concerns with how marine organisms will adapt to new corrosive conditions during an international symposium on the subject last week, warning that life throughout the worlds oceans will have to adapt rapidly to changing conditions.
Acidification Ocean acidity - new Google Earth tourIUCN | 08 Oct 2012A new guide on ocean acidification and a new tour on Google Earth, showing the speed and scale of impact CO2 emissions will have on the ocean, is being launched today at The Ocean in a High CO2 World Symposium in Monterey, California.
Acidification Ocean Acidification: The Other CO2 ProblemWoods Hole Oceanographic Institution | 07 Aug 2012Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when humans began burning coal in large quantities, the worlds ocean water has gradually become more acidic. Like global warming, this phenomenon, which is known as ocean acidification, is a direct consequence of increasing levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in Earths atmosphere.
