Modern ocean acidification is outpacing ancient upheaval, study suggests
Posted on Phys.Org: 2 Jun 2014 The deep-sea benthic foram Aragonia velascoensis went extinct about 56 million years ago as the oceans rapidly acidified. Credit: Ellen Thomas/Yale University Some 56 million years ago, a massive pulse of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere sent global temperatures soaring. In the oceans, carbonate
Point of View: Seafood’s future hinges on reducing carbon pollution
Posted on Seafood Business Magazine: 01 Jun 2014 — By Bruce Steele A decade ago, Japanese researchers showed that seawater soured by carbon pollution would hamper sea urchins’ reproductive capabilities. I read their report and saw trouble on the horizon. As a commercial urchin diver in California, I hoped this trouble
Effects of ocean acidification combined with multiple stressors on early life stages of the Pacific purple sea urchin
Posted on OA: 19 May 2014 Decreases in ocean pH through ocean acidification has shown to have direct negative impacts on the early life stages of the Pacific purple sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus. Research has suggested that multiple stressors could exacerbate, cancel, or even alleviate the impacts of ocean acidification
Ocean Acidification Threatens Sea Life
Posted on CCTV America: 16 May 2014 — Interview with Todd Capson by Anand Naidoo The world’s seafood supply could be in jeopardy. Why? Ocean acidification. It’s the process in which the pH level in seawater is lowered through the absorption of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. Changes to
