Global warming has caused several acidification events in the world’s oceans. The oceanic waters have been becoming more acidic and killing marine life. A new study has discovered that acidification in the western Arctic Ocean is happening at a rate three to four times higher
Diatoms in the oceans are tiny floating organisms, that supply the world with around a fifth of its oxygen. Unfortunately, ocean acidification is drastically reducing the number of diatoms. As per new research, these tiny creatures will deprive of the silica building blocks that they
With the advent of large-scale agricultural and industrial activities, millions of tons of waste and other pollutants enter the ocean each year. There are so many major factors polluting the oceans on daily basis. Some of these pollutants including plastic waste end up on beaches,
Global warming is a devastating consequence of climate change, not only it affects the natural habitat adversely but is also responsible for ocean acidification. As per a recent study published in Global Change Biology, warming waters and acidification might highly affect the way fishes interact
Billions of corals were witnessed spawning at the coast of Cairns, Queensland. The spawning event of corals in the Great Barrier Reef is indeed a regeneration of hope for the world’s largest coral reef system, which has been bearing the brunt of global warming-caused ocean
The rapidly changing climate and rising temperatures have surely threatened all the living beings on the planet. According to a recent research, marine life is under severe threat as up to 95 percent of earth’s ocean surface climates may disappear by 2100 unless humankind eliminates
As the temperature of the globe rises, the ocean acidification events have become rather common. This process endangers millions of species and threatens the delicate balance of the ecosystems. CU Boulder researchers have developed a new scientific method that could help in actually predict ocean
