Using a 3D model of the world's oceans, the researchers examined how carbon emissions since the industrial age have impacted ...

Bringing a novel approach to a classic problem, researchers have revealed how changes in ocean chemistry over the past 2 ...

A research team led by Prof. Li Mingsong at Peking University has provided new insights into the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

"Our results have important implications for understanding how Earth's climate and ocean chemistry changed after the extreme conditions of the last global ice age," said lead author Tian Gan ...

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 ...
