The carbon being absorbed into the global cycle needs to match the carbon being emitted. While the ocean carbon cycle is well documented, direct observations of carbon flux on land are difficult to ...

New clues from ancient seas are reshaping what we know about mass extinction and the future of our oceans. In a recent ...

Ocean Acidification From Carbon Dioxide Date: March 9, 2007 Source: University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Science Summary: Global increases in temperature are just one ...

A prehistoric carbon spike turned oceans deadly and wiped out marine life. Scientists say today’s CO₂ rise could cause the ...

“These findings throw open a new window to let us see how the global carbon cycle adjusted to sea level and climate change through geologic time,” he added. “We will need these insights in guiding our ...

New advancements in satellite technology are transforming how we understand the role oceans play in regulating carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in Earth’s atmosphere. While the oceans have long served as a ...

Playing a key role in the Earth’s climate and weather systems, as well as in the global carbon cycle, the ocean is an immeasurable force of nature. However, human activities have fundamentally altered ...

Ocean acidification: Carbon dioxide makes life difficult for algae. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2011 / 05 / 110510101506.htm ...

Today, the human-generated carbon dioxide emissions that are contributing to climate change are also contributing to ocean acidification. Today’s carbon influx isn’t nearly as massive as the ...

Across the globe, oceans are acidifying as they absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, threatening coral reefs and many ...

Scientists call ocean acidification "the other carbon problem." When the ocean absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, it raises the pH of the water making it acidic.

Experiments with tiny, shelled organisms in the ocean suggest big changes to the global carbon cycle are underway, according to a study from the University of California, Davis. For the study, ...
