New research maps areas most vulnerable to ocean acidification
Posted on Eureka Alert/AAAS: 13 Oct 2015 — NOAA Headquarters Public Release This map shows the global distribution of aragonite saturation at 50 meters depth. The graphic shows areas that are most vulnerable to ocean acidification since they are regions where the saturation of aragonite is lower. Aragonite is a
Climate change will irreversibly force key ocean bacteria into overdrive
Posted on USC News: 1 Sep 2015 — By Robert Perkins — Scientists demonstrate that a key organism in the ocean’s food web will start reproducing at high speed as carbon dioxide levels rise, with no way to stop when nutrients become scarce Imagine being in a car with the
