Researchers, funded by significant financial backing, are now exploring extreme geoengineering methods to combat climate change, despite the risks and uncertainties associated with altering natural processes on such a largeContinue Reading
Carbon dioxide and ocean pH are key indicators of global warming, so philanthropists Eric and Wendy Schmidt have announced funding to support Keeling Curve carbon dioxide measurements and University ofContinue Reading
The world’s oceans absorb about 30 percent of the carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere. That means that as levels of CO2 in the atmosphere have increased, so too haveContinue Reading
Sharks are covered in denticles (tiny, tooth-like scales), which provide the animal with a tough, protective layer—but are also highly vulnerable to ocean acidification. Consistent exposure to a low pHContinue Reading
