Acidic oceans are disrupting a major part of the carbon cycle, slowing how seas absorb carbon from the atmosphere. This could massively speed up the effects of climate change.v

South Africa has the opportunity to benefit from its ocean economy. But to do that, the country needs to put better policies in place to counter ocean acidification.
By artificially going 'back in time' to more alkaline ocean conditions, researchers have shown the damage that ocean acidification is already doing to the Great Barrier Reef.
Ocean acidification will hurt some parts of the Great Barrier Reef more than others.
The end-Triassic mass extinction may be better known for preceding the rise of the dinosaurs, but it had a profound effect on oceans too.
Rising levels of ocean acidity have been linked to anxiety in juvenile rockfish. The study found that carbon uptake in the…
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…
