Increased ocean acidification is due to human activities, say scientists
2016-09-07 21:33:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Oceanographers from MIT and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution report that the northeast Pacific Ocean has absorbed an increasing amount of anthropogenic carbon dioxide over the last decade, at a rate that mirrors the increase of carbon dioxide emissions pumped into the atmosphere. The scientists, led by graduate student Sophie Chu, in MIT's Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences, found that most of the anthropogenic carbon (carbon arising from human activity) in the northeast...

Ocean warming and acidification impact on calcareous phytoplankton
2016-07-13 21:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Researchers from the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology of the Universitat Autnoma de Barcelona (ICTA-UAB), the University of Cambridge and the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom warn of the negative impacts of rapid ocean warming and ocean acidification on coccolithophores, and consequently in the regulatory processes of atmospheric and ocean concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2). Two new studies recently published in Limnology & Oceanography and Biogeosciences...

How growing sea plants can help slow ocean acidification

Yale Environment 360: How Growing Sea Plants Can Help Slow Ocean Acidification Researchers are finding that kelp, eelgrass, and other vegetation can effectively absorb CO2 and reduce acidity in the ocean. Growing these plants in local waters, scientists say, could help mitigate the damaging impacts of acidification on marine life. Robert Schwemmer/NOAA Harvesting kelp, shown here off the California coast, removes CO2 from the ecosystem. Oregons picturesque Netarts Bay has long been known for its oysters....
Ocean acidification will make it hard for mussels to hang on experiments suggest

CBC.ca: For a seafood lover, the strong, stretchy threads that mussels use to cling to rocks are a nuisance to be discarded. But for the mussel, they're a lifeline necessary to cling to its home and new research shows they're vulnerable to the climate change double-whammy of warmer and more acidic waters. Penn Cove mussel farmer A mussel farmer at Penn Cove Shellfish on Whidbey Island in Washington State shows a rope with mussels growing on it, along with algae. (Emily Carrington) "It is concerning,"...
