It is among the cheapest energy sources available, provided homeowners can get over the hump of the initial investment.

A trial is underway on England’s south coast where scientists are trialing a method to extract CO2 from seawater, which ...

thereby reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere without acidifying the ocean. Then, to restore equilibrium, the ocean absorbs more carbon from the atmosphere. This chemical reaction makes the ...

Edmunds, Carpenter and Steve Doo of the University of Hawaii published results in the journal Limnology and Oceanography revealing the consequences of ocean acidification. The reefs may not be able to ...

For you and your otoliths, this increase in carbon dioxide is significant, because your ear stones are made of calcium carbonate, a carbon-based salt, and ocean acidification makes them grow larger.

The point of it all was locked inside that powder, where carbon dioxide that had once been absorbed and dissolved into the sea gets trapped, sequestered from our acidifying oceans and ever-warming ...

as a tool that could one day help shelled species survive in the world’s rapidly acidifying oceans. The inspiration for Hensel’s research comes from Indigenous sea gardening practices.

Studies of these creatures in other oceans have shown that global warming and acidifying oceans can shift habitats and shorten lifespans of the animals that rely on aragonite. For sea butterflies ...

The western Arctic Ocean is acidifying four times faster than other oceans as ice melts at record speeds. Ocean acidification occurs when seawater absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

For organisms unaccustomed to living in seawater with high levels of CO 2, an acidifying ocean can be detrimental to survival. Image by Milos Prelevic via Unsplash (Public domain). And things are ...

The more carbon dioxide absorbed into the oceans, the lower its pH level goes, acidifying ocean water and affecting plant and animal life. Some estimates in the past have suggested that the rise in ...
