Scientists at Yale and in Singapore have devised what may be the ultimate acid test—a comprehensive model for estimating the ...

Dungeness crab, Pacific herring, and red abalone are among the marine species most vulnerable to the changing climate's effect on California's coastal waters, a new study led by UC Santa Cruz ...

The rise in carbon dioxide levels in our atmosphere is also helping to acidify our oceans even further, resulting in more ...

Ocean acidification, caused by increased carbon dioxide absorption, affects the sex determination of oysters, which rely on environmental cues rather than chromosomes.

Oceans cover more than 70% of Earth’s surface, and their warming is gravely concerning. So how much is down to climate change ...

Their model estimates that it took Earth 500 million years to neutralize ocean acidity enough to support life. While pockets ...

New study reveals that coral reefs in the Gulf of Eilat experienced a surprising 3,000-year "shutdown" in growth, from about 4,400 to 1,000 years ago, likely due to a temporary drop in sea level that ...

A seemingly minor trickle of groundwater beneath Alaska’s tundra is quietly releasing vast amounts of carbon into the ocean.

The Winter School brought together 12 participants from 11 countries—Argentina, Bangladesh, Costa Rica, Croatia, Ghana, Italy, Namibia, Nigeria, Malaysia, the Philippines and Portugal—for two weeks of ...

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 animal ...
