Ocean acidification is the lowering of seawater pH over time, as the ocean absorbs carbon dioxide (CO 2) from the atmosphere. The pH scale is used to measure how acidic or basic a water-based solution ...

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 ...

Sign our petition to help protect ocean life from ocean acidification. Shell-forming animals like corals, crabs, oysters and urchins are getting hit first because ocean acidification robs seawater of ...

has called ocean acidification global warming's "equally evil twin." The pH scale, which measures acidity in terms of the concentration of hydrogen ions, runs from zero to 14. At the low end of ...

The rise in carbon dioxide levels in our atmosphere is also helping to acidify our oceans even further, resulting in more ...

Rising Sea Surface Temperatures The steady warming of our oceans is akin to placing our planet on a simmering stove. Sea ...

Ocean acidification—a critical yet understudied issue in Sri Lanka—results from increased atmospheric CO2 levels dissolving into the ocean, altering its chemistry. This phenomenon poses significant ...

The OA-ICC is an IAEA Peaceful Uses Initiative project launched at the UN Rio+20 conference in 2012 following increasing concern from IAEA Member States about ocean acidification. The Centre responds ...

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 ...

A seemingly minor trickle of groundwater beneath Alaska’s tundra is quietly releasing vast amounts of carbon into the ocean.
