The Pacific Ocean is growing more acidic at a much faster rate than anticipated, scientists say, putting everything from corals to mussels in jeopardy. Researchers say carbon dioxide from the ...

Ocean acidification has emerged as one of the biggest modern threats to coral reefs across the world. New evidence indicates ocean acidification once also caused the worst mass extinction in history.

Earth Ocean acidification is reaching deeper waters Rising carbon dioxide levels are driving an increase in the ocean’s acidity – and this change is sinking deeper as emissions increase ...

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 ...

B.C.’s ocean acidification and hypoxia plan, released in 2023, says that ocean acidification and the related phenomenon of low oxygen zones in the ocean “pose a significant threat to B.C.’s ...

Out of shape: Ocean acidification simplifies coral reef architecture and reshuffles fish assemblages. Journal of Animal Ecology, 2024; DOI: 10.1111/1365-2656.14127 ...

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 ...

Results indicate that ocean acidification could reduce primary production in oligotrophic tropical and subtropical oceans by approximately 10%, with global implications. When extrapolated to all ...

The impact of ocean acidification on species in different parts of the world has been miscalculated, so far, and its impact in some cases over- and in other cases underestimated, an analysis of 86 ...
