Scientists at Yale University have clarified how carbon dioxide escapes minerals deep inside Earth and seeps into the planet’s atmosphere, a significant step in the planet’s natural carbon cycle.

Earth's ocean absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, helping to temper the impact of climate change but increasing ocean acidity. However, calcium carbonate minerals found in the seabed act as a ...

A University of Nebraska–Lincoln research team has identified new microscopic players in the global carbon cycle, a discovery that paints a clearer picture of carbon flow through the environment and ...

For many years, the world’s oceans have suffered from absorbing human-made carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which has led to the decreasing pH of saltwater, known as ocean acidification, and ...

Species in the Northwest Atlantic, like this red tree coral, are threatened by ocean acidification, which may be causing the dissolution of the sea floor. 2014 Bigelow-ROPOS US-Canada Gulf of Maine ...

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 ...

Climate change is often treated like something that won’t be harmful for many decades. The truth is that we’re already feeling the effects of greenhouse gas emissions—and they’ll become more and more ...

Q. At what level of hydrogen ion concentration in the ocean will the coral reefs and other calcifiers begin to show signs of dissolution? – Submitted by Mackenzie B., 12, Key West, Fl. The hydrogen ...
