ocean acidification
Acid oceans demand greater reef care
The more humanity acidifies and warms the world’s oceans with carbon emissions, the harder we will have to work to save our coral reefs.
That’s the blunt message from a major new study by an international scientific team, which finds that ocean ac…
New age researchers highlight how man is changing the world
Human influence on the landscape, global warming, sea level rise, ocean acidification and biodiversity are highlighted in a new set of studies led by University of Leicester researchers.
How this influence will be reflected in the distinctive ge…
Ocean acidification changes nitrogen cycling in world seas
Increasing acidity in the sea’s waters may fundamentally change how nitrogen is cycled in them, say marine scientists who published their findings in this week’s issue of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
Ni…
Limiting ocean acidification under global change
Emissions of carbon dioxide are causing ocean acidification as well as global warming. Scientists have previously used computer simulations to quantify how curbing of carbon dioxide emissions would mitigate climate impacts. New computer simulation…
