The acidification of the Earth's oceans is expected to triple by 2100, and could lead to major impacts on biodiversity across U.S. coastlines. With climbing atmospheric CO2, huge amounts of this gas ...

An unhealthy sea butterfly, or pteropod, showing effects of ocean acidification including ragged, dissolving shell ridges on upper surface, a cloudy shell in lower right quadrant, and severe abrasions ...

Dr. Ian Enochs is a NOAA Research Ecologist studying ocean acidification and its impacts on coral reefs. New NOAA buoys are monitoring vital coral reef deterioration in Florida Keys to help understand ...

(via Reactions) The ocean is getting more and more acidic. Can we solve it by emptying a giant bottle of antacid into the ocean? No… but the idea of lowering the ocean’s acidity in order to decrease ...

A team of planetary scientists, ecologists, and marine biologists affiliated with several institutions in the U.S. and one in the U.K., has found evidence suggesting that parts of the world's oceans ...

New research from the University of St Andrews has found that some coastal areas will become much more acidic than previously anticipated. With added atmospheric CO 2, these areas are acidifying more ...

The ocean is the lifeblood of our planet—producing over half of the world’s oxygen, regulating global temperatures, and supporting millions of species. Yet today, marine ecosystems are under severe ...

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 ...

Pioneering techniques that use satellites to monitor ocean acidification are set to revolutionise the way that marine biologists and climate scientists study the ocean. This new approach, that will be ...
