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...

Acidic oceans eating away at skeletons in Pacific, researchers say
2014-01-15 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
US News and World Report: Researchers studied how algae in the Pacific Ocean off Tatoosh Island in Washington state were being affected by global warming. No bones about it: As oceans have grown more acidic from global warming over the past decade, they've been eating away at the skeletons grown by a certain strain of alga -- likely demonstrating how climate change affects organisms and biodiversity, a new study says. Researchers working at Tatoosh Island in the Pacific Ocean off Washington state found that the alga...
