Ocean acidification is rapidly changing the carbonate system of the world oceans. Past mass
extinction events have been linked to ocean acidification, and the current rate of change in …

Ocean acidification lowers the oceanic saturation states of carbonate minerals and
decreases the calcification rates of some marine organisms that provide a range of …

Over the past decade there has been rapidly growing interest in the potential effects of
ocean acidification and perturbations of the carbonate system on marine organisms. While …

During recent decades, Earth system research has provided overwhelming evidence that
climate change, with disastrous consequences, will result from unbridled anthropogenic …

The ocean has absorbed a significant portion of all human-made carbon dioxide emissions.
This benefits human society by moderating the rate of climate change, but also causes …

Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), primarily from human fossil fuel combustion,
reduces ocean pH and causes wholesale shifts in seawater carbonate chemistry. The …

The carbonate chemistry of the world's oceans, including their pH, has been remarkably
constant for hundreds of thousands of years (Pearson and Palmer, 2000), with typical …

Anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to the atmosphere and subsequent uptake
by the ocean are changing seawater chemistry, a process known as ocean acidification …

Ocean Acidification (OA) has been an important research topic for a decade. Scientists have
