Eukaryotic phytoplankton drive a decrease in primary production under ocean acidification. Credit: Dalin Shi Princeton University and Xiamen University researchers report that in tropical and ...
EU-funded researchers are developing a new generation of ocean sensors able to monitor previously hard-to-reach areas, promising clearer insight into how marine ecosystems are responding to climate ...
Tiny marine plankton that build calcium carbonate shells play an outsized role in regulating Earth’s climate, quietly pulling carbon from the atmosphere and helping lock it away in the deep ocean. New ...
Earth's ocean absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, helping to temper the impact of climate change but increasing ocean ...
New findings have revealed that changes in ocean density have a significant impact on the rate at which marine plankton incorporate carbon into their shells. This has profound implications for carbon ...

Earth’s ocean acidification crisis: Rising CO₂ levels push planetary systems beyond safe limits
The world’s oceans, once thought vast and indestructible, are now showing alarming signs of decline. Recent research from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research reveals that Earth has ...
Scientists have known for decades that soaring atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions are causing changes in ocean chemistry, threatening marine life and ecosystems. In June 2025, a study found that ...

MAYOTTE, INDIAN OCEAN - NOVEMBER 2017: Diver from the Mayotte Marine Natural Park carry out a survey on the reef, called REEFCHECK, on November 27, 2017, Mayotte, Comoros archipelago, Indian Ocean.
The ocean has absorbed a significant portion carbon dioxide emissions from human activities, decreasing the pH of the water and leading to a suite of chemical changes collectively known as ocean ...
A new assessment finds that the world’s oceans crossed the safe threshold for acidification in 2020, breaching a key planetary boundary and posing serious threats to marine life. Ocean acidification ...
A sea turtle swims in a coral reef in Hawaii. Ocean acidification, found to be on the brink of crossing a boundary into higher-risk territory, can affect coral skeleton formation. Toby Matthews via ...
