Ocean acidification, driven by rising CO₂ emissions, is altering seawater chemistry and threatening marine calcifiers like corals, mollusks, and some plankton. While some species show resilience, ...

Ocean acidification, driven by rising atmospheric CO₂, is altering marine chemistry faster than many species can adapt. From dissolving shells to weakening shark teeth, the impacts ripple through ...

Ocean acidification, driven by the uptake of anthropogenic CO₂ by seawater, is lowering ocean pH and altering carbonate chemistry with profound consequences for the reproductive cycle of marine ...

Ocean acidification, driven by the uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide, alters seawater chemistry and lowers pH, with cascading consequences for marine food webs. Copepods, as dominant ...

Acidity levels are rising around the world, but Puget Sound is one of the hardest hit areas. Meteorologist Leah Pezzetti with our ENW team explains.

Planktonic foraminifera are tiny marine organisms, which are essential to the ocean's carbon cycle. A recent study reveals that these populations are shrinking at an alarming rate due to ocean warming ...

The waters off the Pacific Northwest are becoming more acidic at a faster rate than the rest of the world's oceans, a global problem exacerbated by the region's unique geography, according to a ...

Wind howls and waves roar as storms rage over the open ocean. But even as gusts reach hurricane strength and swells rise as high as six-story buildings, the violent effects of these storms only reach ...

A new AI-driven method called GOFLOW is turning weather satellite images into highly detailed maps of ocean currents. By tracking how temperature patterns shift over time, it can reveal fast-moving, ...

Climate change Once-in-a-century 'super' El Niño in the cards as ocean temperatures reach near record highs in April Climate change Microplastics absorb heat in the atmosphere and contribute to global ...

Mars may have once had an ocean so vast that it covered one-third of the planet before evaporating billions of years ago and leaving behind a telltale sign: a flat band of land, outlining the former ...

Scientists have solved the mystery of a "golden orb" found thousands of feet underwater by researchers from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association in 2023, the agency said on Wednesday. The ...
