Scientists are aware of planetary boundaries—a series of climate change thresholds that, once crossed, could cause a cascade ...

If a change in ocean pH of 0.25 over a few hundred to a few thousand years following the Chicxulub impact caused such a dramatic die-off of marine life, the projected ocean acidification we could ...

Ocean acidification may be a serious threat to shell-forming organisms, although ocean acidification impacts on calcifiers are less deleterious than initially thought 5.

The ocean has absorbed a significant portion of all human-made carbon dioxide emissions. This benefits human society by moderating the rate of climate change, but also causes unprecedented changes to ...

“The Paris Agreement on climate change was welcome. But it does not mention ocean acidification, nor the fact that this rapid change in surface ocean chemistry undermines the social, economic and ...

Ocean acidification is affecting the shells and sensory organs of young Dungeness crabs in West Coast waters, posing a threat to B.C.’s second most valuable seafood export. A study published in ...

Wildlife Olympia oysters show resilience to ocean acidification, study finds A new study out of Oregon State University offers hope that some marine animals possess natural defenses to ocean ...

Right now, the pH of open waters near Hawaii commonly hovers around 8, and ocean acidification models forecast a pH drop of 0.2 or more over the next 100 years, said Carrington.
