The oceans could become so filled with carbon dioxide that scientists are proposing a new factor to measure their capacity ...

New insights from 150 years suggest that oceans are at present a 'ticking bomb' that needs to be dealt with quickly.

Ocean health is moving into a danger zone, with rampant human-caused carbon dioxide emissions having already pushed ocean ...

Scientists had determined that ocean acidification enters this danger zone or crosses this planetary boundary when the amount ...

A team of planetary scientists, ecologists, and marine biologists affiliated with several institutions in the U.S. and one in ...

This ocean post is from the PBS Correlations archive, originally published on November 6th, 2007. You may have been hearing all the hullabaloo over ocean acidification.

Ocean acidification plus warming can be deadly to many species of plankton. Since so much of all of Earth’s life is found in the ocean, and it all depends on plankton, this could be a gigantic ...

Scientists call ocean acidification "the other carbon problem." When the ocean absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, it raises the pH of the water making it acidic.

And ocean acidification is set to continue as the water absorbs more CO2. “Even if we were able to stop CO2 emissions immediately, we would still – for a couple of hundred of years or so ...

They added CO 2 estimates for the years 1800, 1994, 2004 and 2014, using three signals for ocean acidification; proton concentrations, pH levels and aragonite saturation states.

Ocean acidification is now thought to occur faster than it has been in the last 20 million years. In the past, similar changes in pH have happened naturally, but over much longer periods of time. If ...
