Princeton University and Xiamen University researchers report that in tropical and subtropical oligotrophic waters, ocean ...

Ocean acidification strips seawater of the materials that marine animals — such as corals, plankton and shellfish — use to build their shells and skeletons. This can stunt growth or cause deformations ...

Hurricanes move massive amounts of sediment from shallow reefs to deep oceans, affecting ecosystems long-term.

What is the 'other carbon dioxide problem'? How are humans driving changes in the chemistry of the ocean, and what might this mean for marine ecosystems in the future?

Ocean acidification, a consequence of climate change caused by the ocean’s absorption of carbon dioxide (CO 2), is threatening the environment. Because of its global scale, addressing ocean ...

Based on one diel cycle, the sediments were a net daily source of alkalinity ... pore-water advection may partially buffer shallow coral reef ecosystems against ocean acidification on a local scale.

The OA-ICC is an IAEA Peaceful Uses Initiative project launched at the UN Rio+20 conference in 2012 following increasing concern from IAEA Member States about ocean acidification. The Centre responds ...

The impact of hurricanes when they travel over land, or when they affect ships or oil-drilling platforms, are quite well ...

Students and instructors at working on research projects in one of the ASMS labs All of these projects deal with ocean acidification, which occurs when excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere ...
