making some parts of the ocean noisier. Finally, acidification interferes with reproduction in some species and with the ability of others—the so-called calcifiers—to form shells and stony ...

In 2006, by the time the scientist Sarah Cooley finished graduate school in marine science, oyster larvae in the Pacific ...

The shells of marine snails – known as pteropods – living in the seas around Antarctica are being dissolved by ocean acidification according to a new study published this week in the journal ...

The rising CO 2 levels and ocean acidification also reduce the formation of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3), from which foraminifera build their shells. Since the empty shells of deceased plankton sink ...

Hurricanes move massive amounts of sediment from shallow reefs to deep oceans, affecting ecosystems long-term.

They play an important role in storing carbon dioxide; when they die, their shells sink to the seafloor, naturally removing CO2 from the water. But ocean acidification makes it harder for them to ...

Ocean acidification can negatively affect marine life, causing organisms' shells and skeletons made from calcium carbonate to dissolve. The more acidic the ocean, the faster the shells dissolve. By ...

The ocean water in the Pacific Northwest is more vulnerable to rapid acidification, where the carbon dioxide levels are naturally higher.

Ocean acidification is often described as the evil twin of climate change. Prof Richard Twitchett explains what ocean acidification is and what it could mean for the planet. Earth's oceans are ...
