USC scientists are exploring how the sandy seafloor off the Southern California coast takes up CO2 and helps protect the long ...

The USGS wants to examine how the movement of carbon in wetlands can help neutralize ocean acidification, which is worsened by the rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

The world's oceans are in trouble. Every day, 22 million tons of carbon dioxide from factories, cars, power plants and other human sources are absorbed by the world's oceans. The result? A frightening ...

A new study reveals that ocean acidification, triggered by a massive carbon dioxide surge from volcanic activity during the ...

Each of these cycles accounts for 25 per cent and 30 per cent of emitted CO2, respectively. CO2 that dissolves in the oceans reacts to form chemicals that increase the acidity of the oceans.

Adding crushed calcium carbonate—limestone—to agricultural fields can remove tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each ...

Whale excrement, rich in nutrients, fertilizes the oceans by feeding phytoplankton. These microorganisms form the base of the ...

First, it is the acceleration of a natural process that would occur anyway. Second, because the reaction occurs in an engineered reactor on the ship and does not fully consume the CO2 supply, it will ...

The ocean plays a vital role in protecting the planet, absorbing about 31% of the carbon dioxide (CO2) released by human activity, storing it in its ...

By carefully and continually restoring the ocean’s alkalinity, ocean acidification and excess atmospheric CO2 concentrations can be tackled simultaneously.
