Greenhouse gas emissions have warmed the oceans in regions such as the Baltic by as much as 1.3°C. It is now thought that 90% of the heat added to the climate system by humans has been absorbed in the…
The smallest species of plankton will increase in numbers to the detriment of other species when C02 levels rise and ocean…
Increased acidification of the world’s oceans is breaking down the relationship between microbial life and larger plants…
Recent studies have shown several marine species are struggling to adapt to the excess carbon dioxide and heat which oceans are absorbing. Evidence is mounting of the risks we’re taking with our oceans…
A loss of shelter is threatening the survival of the world’s clownfish. An international study has found that the effects…
As a scientist working on the impact of climate change on marine ecosystems, one of my duties is to communicate my work. My main goal is to convince students, citizens, economists and politicians that…
Scientists have used test tubes to discover coral’s secret to building their external skeletons. The Rutgers Institute study…
Researchers at the University of Bristol created a model to test the benefits of cooling ocean temperatures for coral reefs…
Rising levels of ocean acidification may not be as damaging for marine life as previously thought. Growing concerns over…
Purple sea urchins have been found to be able to evolve extremely rapidly in relation to their environment. Experiments conducted…
When it comes to climate change, temperature is only part of the story. Climate gases released by human activity are dissolving into the oceans, and the increased levels of CO₂ are making the waters more…
A new threat to coral reefs has been discovered: microscopic plants are gradually devouring them. Reefs – already threatened…
Ocean acidification - where the ocean becomes less alkaline as it absorbs excess CO2 from the atmosphere - has been described as the evil twin of global warming. Yet, remarkably, it is only over the past…
The recently released film Life of Pi directed by Ang Lee and based on Yann Martel’s novel of the same name, is a fable for our climate change times. Much of the plot involves the struggles of a teenage…
As Doha disappoints on delivering any real progress on reducing global CO2 emissions, new research demonstrates that a key component of coral reef structures may be more resilient in the face of increasing…
Fish are on the move in Australia’s waters. In southern Australia, scientists, commercial and recreational fishers, divers and beach-goers are reporting the presence of new species. The movement of species…
Internal “pumps” found in some corals may help them to endure gradual ocean acidification, giving rise to hope that coral reefs might escape climatic devastation, according to new research. A team of scientists…
Ocean acidification is often referred to as the “evil twin” of climate change. Greenhouse gasses are doing more than just warming the globe. Increasing C0₂ levels are also changing the chemical make-up…
