Ocean acidification may have severe consequences for marine ecosystems; however,
assessing its future impact is difficult because laboratory experiments and field observations …

Humans are continuing to add vast amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere
through fossil fuel burning and other activities. A large fraction of the CO2 is taken up by the …

Variations in the 13C/12C value of total dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in the world's
oceans through time have been documented through stratigraphic study of marine …

Abstract Between about 55.5 and 52 million years ago, Earth experienced a series of

The accumulation of methane hydrate in marine sediments is controlled by a number of
physical and biogeochemical parameters including the thickness of the gas hydrate stability …

Oxygenic photosynthesis evolved at least 2.4 Ga; all oxygenic organisms use the ribulose
bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase (Rubisco)–photosynthetic carbon reduction cycle …

Community structure and assembly are determined in part by environmental heterogeneity.
While reef-building corals respond negatively to warming (ie bleaching events) and ocean …
