Moderate increase of oceanic acidification leads to a dramatic shift in benthic habitats
2015-10-30 20:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Rising levels of CO2 released by anthropogenic activities are driving unprecedented changes in the chemistry of the oceans. The mean ocean surface acidity has increased by a near 30% as the advent of the Industrial Revolution. In agreement, ocean acidification is receiving increasing attention because of its potential to affect marine ecosystems. A research, headed by researchers at the University of Barcelona, shows that a decrease from pH 8.1 to 7.9 observed in a CO2 vent system at 40 m depth...

Self-regulating corals protect skeletons against ocean acidification
2015-10-09 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Scientists from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies (Coral CoE) have found a species of coral living in a dynamic reef system, which is able to protect itself from the impact of ocean acidification. Ocean acidification, caused by rising CO2, is one of the greatest long-term challenges facing reefs. It reduces coral's ability to form their skeletons and build reef structures. Now Coral CoE researchers from the University of Western Australia and the University of Queensland have...

Geoengineering will not save ocean life from acidification, research says
2015-08-06 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
InsideClimate: Waiting to tackle ocean acidification caused by climate change through yet-to-be developed geoengineering schemes will be too little too late to prevent mass extinction of ocean life, a new study concludes. Cutting carbon emissions is the only way for oceans to recover from the devastating effects of climate change, according to the new research published in Nature Climate Change. While using deliberate, large-scale manipulation of earth processes to combat global warming has its proponents, intervening...
Ocean acidification impact phytoplankton now
2015-07-28 17:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: Scientists are warning that ocean acidification is impacting microorganisms in our ocean known as phytoplankton and, as they pay a key role in ocean habitats, any future loss or change in species numbers could impact marine life in a big way. Ocean acidification isnt always mentioned in conjunction with phytoplankton blooms, and the U.S. Government has been slow to link the two, but MIT researchers say acidification of our oceans could impact phytoplankton in a big way, and that will be bad news...
