Examining How Marine Life Might Adapt to Acidified Oceans
Posted on Yale Environment 360: 14 May 2014 — By Elizabeth Grossman — In an interview with Yale Environment 360, marine biologist Gretchen Hofmann discusses how well mollusks and other shell-building organisms might evolve to live in increasingly corrosive ocean conditions caused by soaring CO2 emissions. As the world’s oceans
Uranium in larval shells as a barometer of molluscan ocean acidification exposure
Posted on OA: 12 May 2014 — Frieder C. A., Gonzalez J. P. & Levin L. A., in press. Environmental Science & Technology. As the ocean undergoes acidification, marine organisms will become increasingly exposed to reduced pH, yet variability in many coastal settings complicates our ability to accurately estimate pH
Report: Climate-change effects are already apparent in NW
Posted on The Seattle Times: 7 May 2014 — By Sandi Doughton — Bigger, more frequent forest fires, shrinking snowpacks and changing ocean chemistry herald greater risks in the Northwest due to climate change, a new report says. From changes in stream flows to acidifying oceans and widespread forest
New study: acidifying ocean destroying sea butterflies
Posted on OA: 6 May 2014 Tiny, delicate marine snails called pteropods are a key part of the marine food web. New research indicates they are dissolving to a greater extent than previously thought because of ocean acidification. Scientists know that greenhouse gas emissions are contributing to the dropping pH
