Pteropods like sea snails and sea butterflies are at particular risk because they build their shells out of calcium, which dissolves if the water gets too acidic. The rise in acidification has also ...

A collaborative study by Chinese and U.S. scientists has revealed how a massive carbon release 56 million years ago impacted ocean chemistry, offering critical insights into the effects of modern ...

and a rise in pollutants, including plastics and chemical fertilisers used in agriculture. The sustainable level of ocean acidification is now also set to be exceeded, largely as a result of ever ...

Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) could help absorb more CO2 without harming marine life, based on recent tests.

The researchers outline a method for forecasting both marine heatwaves and acute ocean acidity. The new model is adept at forecasting these events up to year in advance, with varying degrees of ...

In their paper published in the journal Science Advances, Jens Müller and Nicolas Grube describe the factors that went into their model and what it showed them about ocean acidification around ...

Carbon pollution from human activities is making ocean water corrosive. This harms marine life. Our new scientific tool helps ...

The pace at which oceans are warming has almost doubled since 2005 as global temperatures rise because of human-caused climate change, a report from the EU monitor Copernicus said Monday.
