Researchers and hatcheries are exploring new ways to protect shellfish in the Pacific Northwest, although Trump budget cuts ...

An international team of researchers has assessed the impact of carbon dioxide on the oceans. Their study, published in ...

Modern oceans are slightly alkaline, with a pH of around 8.1.The addition of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere is shifting that – a process known as ocean acidification – but the value is ...

Scientists constructed a 100-year history of acidity in the Gulf of Maine. They expected coastal variability but were ...

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.

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 ...

A US think tank known to promote skepticism about global warming published a video claiming to fact-check climate "alarmism over ocean acidification." But the clip misrepresents the phenomenon, which ...

Our oceans are in trouble. Catches from many of the world's fisheries are declining, with some fishing practices destroying ...

The deep oceans have crossed a crucial boundary that threatens their ability to provide the surface with food and oxygen, a new study finds. Nearly two-thirds of the ocean below 200 meters, or 656 ...

What can the pH level of the subsurface ocean on Enceladus tell us about finding life there? This is what a recent study ...

As atmospheric carbon dioxide levels continue to rise, the ocean plays a crucial role in helping to reduce the full impact of human-driven climate change by absorbing roughly a quarter of the carbon ...
