From the deep abyss to coastal shores, our oceans are undergoing a rapid chemical transformation as carbon dioxide levels rise. New research shows that natural processes like upwelling can magnify ...

Earlier this month, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced more than $24 million in grant funding for projects looking at ways to remove carbon, or reduce its effects, in ...

The carbon dioxide we pump into the air is seeping into the oceans and slowly acidifying them. One hundred years from now, ...

Wei-Jun Cai, an expert in marine chemistry at the University of Delaware, is sounding new alarm bells about the changing chemistry of the western region of the Arctic Ocean, where he and an ...

WASHINGTON, April 15, 2024 — Acidification is threatening the ocean’s ability to pull carbon dioxide out of our atmosphere, so scientists and startups are looking to ocean-sized antacids to raise its ...

The oceans have absorbed a significant portion of all anthropogenic (CO 2) emissions (approximately a third of the CO 2 emitted from fossil fuel emissions, cement production and deforestation; Sabine ...

Puget Sound and the Salish Sea are on the leading edge of an ocean acidification crisis that could devastate West Coast ...

Dungeness crabs hunt by flicking their chemical-detecting antennae to and fro. Sensing the water—the underwater equivalent of sniffing the air—is a well-known strategy for homing in on potential prey.

New research shows that calcium carbonate dissolution on continental shelves can neutralize ocean acidity on annual to decadal scales, much faster than deep-ocean processes. The study, based on 25 ...

Editor’s note: This story was originally published The Guardian. It appears here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Acidification of the western Arctic Ocean is happening three to four times ...
