Ocean acidification, a key indicator of planetary health, has exceeded safety thresholds on a global scale, according to a major new study published in Global Change Biology. The research, led by ...

Ocean acidity is one of the key markers of Earth's health, because if it tips too far towards acidic then the results can be catastrophic – and a new study suggests the world's waters are now ...

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.

Henehan's team found that the proportion of boron isotopes — a measurement that can serve as a proxy for ocean acidity — suggested there was an increase in the acidification of the seas over ...

A new study finds ocean acidification is already affecting young Dungeness crab off the West Coast. But so far, it’s unclear what that means for Oregon’s most valuable fishery.

Ocean acidification is changing the nature of inorganic carbon availability in the global oceans. Diatoms account for ~ 40% of all marine primary productivity and are major contributors to the export ...
