It is slowly causing the acidification of the oceans—as sea water takes up more CO₂ it is altering the ocean chemistry and lowering its pH, and this cannot easily be reversed. Since the 1990s ...

Scientists around the world rely on ocean monitoring tools to measure the effects of climate change. Researchers at the ...

Claudine Hauri and her industry partners prepare to take measurements of carbon dioxide and other ocean chemistry parameters ...

On glacial–interglacial timescales, atmospheric CO 2 is slave to the ocean, as the ocean contains about 60 times more carbon than the atmosphere. Hence any explanation of the glacial CO 2 ...

The first seven chapters present basic topics of thermodynamics, isotope systematics and carbonate chemistry, and explain the influence of life on ocean chemistry and how it has evolved in the recent ...

Near-future levels of ocean acidification could become corrosive enough to erode the shells of some animals. Even animals that don’t need to build shells — such as fish and squid — can be affected by ...

Plastics permeate every aspect of our society. Although, students and the public recognize their many benefits, reports of their alarming buildup in our oceans and resulting harm to aquatic life is a ...

Global warming is causing alterations in ocean chemistry and many oceanic processes, and it is threatening many species of marine animals that cannot cope with higher temperatures. Overfishing is ...

The project involved researchers from 13 countries around the Atlantic - combining ocean chemistry and physics, as well as biological discovery, to work out how the ocean environment is changing ...

Ocean sciences span the physics, chemistry, and biology of marine systems. The field encompasses ocean circulation, energy dissipation, marine biology, ecology, biogeochemical cycles, water mass ...
