Princeton University and Xiamen University researchers report that in tropical and subtropical oligotrophic waters, ocean ...

Rising carbon dioxide levels affect more than just the climate; they also affect the chemistry of the oceans. When saltwater absorbs carbon dioxide, it becomes acidic, which alters the aquatic ...

By using a simple method, this Halifax company is able to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in the ocean ...

Earth’s first (water) oceans are thought to have been too acidic for life. A new study has estimated the timelines of the processes that changed this and puts a figure on when they reached the ...

Ocean acidification strips seawater of the materials that marine animals — such as corals, plankton and shellfish — use to build their shells and skeletons. This can stunt growth or cause deformations ...

Scientists from Yale University and Singapore have developed a new model to estimate when Earth’s oceans became less acidic, ...

Ocean acidification is mainly caused by carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere dissolving into the ocean. This leads to a lowering of the water's pH, making the ocean more acidic. Carbon dioxide is ...

Rapid sea ice loss and ocean acidification from climate change are altering the growth and nutritional value of microscopic algae. These algae are an essential food source for fish, krill ...

Kiel. How do plankton communities respond to increased alkalinity in different oceanic regions? This question is at the heart of the international research project "Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement ...

B.C. scientists are a step closer to understanding why ocean acidification is more extreme during some parts of the year in the northern Strait of Georgia.
