A team of researchers is tapping into the ocean’s vast body of free-floating environmental DNA to catch blooms before they ...

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

Researchers have found that ocean acidification entered a "danger zone" in 2020, suggesting increased carbon dioxide levels have caused Earth to breach another planetary boundary.

Another is ocean acidification, also caused by burning fossil fuels. In 2023, researchers determined that six of these boundaries had already been crossed. The new research adds a worrying seventh.

Then it started trawling for ocean perch, “as if clear-cutting an ancient forest,” in the words of Kevin Bailey, a fisheries scientist who wrote a book about the Flyer’s career.

The students are studying ocean acidification and its impact on oysters. The grant is funding six individual student research projects. “The NOAA grant was able then to put the book ends of we are ...

Princeton University and Xiamen University researchers report that in tropical and subtropical oligotrophic waters, ocean acidification reduces primary production, the process of photosynthesis in ...

Ocean acidification poses a significant threat to the global fishing industry, which is vital for the food security and livelihoods of millions of people, especially in developing countries. In 2006, ...

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 ...

WASHINGTON, April 15, 2024 — Acidification is threatening the ocean’s ability to pull carbon dioxide out of our atmosphere, so scientists and startups are looking to ocean-sized antacids to raise its ...

Usually, when water gets warmer, it cannot hold as much air. So, during the PETM, the ocean’s top layers should have been warm and contain less oxygen. Surprisingly, the study found increased oxygen ...
