The study, by Mote Marine Laboratory, connects increased harmful algae blooms with the long-term acidification of Florida’s ...

That uptake of CO2 makes the ocean’s surface more acidic, with consequences for sensitive ecosystems like coral reefs. But until now, researchers did not know the extent to which acidification ...

Rising carbon dioxide levels affect more than just the climate; they also affect the chemistry of the oceans. When saltwater absorbs carbon dioxide, it becomes acidic, which alters the aquatic animal ...

A seemingly minor trickle of groundwater beneath Alaska’s tundra is quietly releasing vast amounts of carbon into the ocean.

Their model estimates that it took Earth 500 million years to neutralize ocean acidity enough to support life. While pockets ...

Ocean acidification is mainly caused by carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere dissolving into the ocean. This leads to a lowering of the water's pH, making the ocean more acidic. Carbon dioxide is ...

Rising carbon dioxide levels affect more than just ... led by Xin Dang and Vengatesen Thiyagarajan has examined how ocean acidification could impact the sex ratio of oysters across generations ...
