Scientists to launch bio robots in Indian Ocean to study its interior biology

Guardian: Australias science agency has teamed up with its Indian counterpart to release bio robots into the Indian Ocean in order to revolutionise our knowledge of a marine environment upon which hundreds of million of people rely. There are already 3,600 so-called Argo floats free-floating sensors drifting around for a decade gathering data about the temperature and salinity of the ocean. But its just the physics, the CSIROs Dr Nick Hardman-Mountford told Guardian Australia. What we dont...

Deep ocean ecosystems not shielded from global warming impacts
2014-01-06 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Summit Voice: Warming ocean temperatures will have a cascading effect reaching even the deepest parts of the ocean, researchers with the UK`s National Oceanography Centre warned in a new paper published in the scientific journal Global Change Biology. Their study quantifies future losses in deep-sea marine life, finding that marine life on the ocean floor will decline by up to 38 percent in the North Atlantic and by more than 5 per cent globally during the next century. These changes will be driven by a...

Pacific coral happy as acidity of the ocean rises
2014-01-04 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Scientist: COULD corals survive ocean acidification against the odds? That's the hope raised by reefs found to be thriving in naturally acidified waters. Corals use the carbonate ions in water to build their skeletons from calcium carbonate. But ocean acidification caused by climate change reduces the available carbonate ions. Lab studies suggest that this leaves corals unable to grow and survive. The few known reefs living in naturally acidified water also tend to be unhealthy. So Kathryn Shamberger of the...

Ocean Acidification Driven Local Factors As Well, Study Finds
2014-01-03 22:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: The discovery of dramatic yet natural short-term increases in a North Carolina estuary's acidity is bad news for the fragile ecosystem and others like it, all of which are already facing long-term ocean acidification due to climate change. Writing in the journal PLOS One, researchers from Duke University explain how, by measuring the acidity of a North Carolina inlet every week for a year, they were able to identify a range of natural factors contributing to temporary spikes in acidity. These...
