Scientists from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution released 65,000 litres of sodium hydroxide into the Gulf of Maine last summer, making it the first federally permitted test of whether adding ...

A small but growing group of scientists and researchers is exploring ocean-based carbon geoengineering, which involves adding chemicals to make oceans less acidic. These largely untested experimental ...

Ocean acidification is the ongoing decrease in ocean pH caused primarily by uptake of anthropogenic CO₂ from the atmosphere, leading to shifts in the seawater carbonate system. Dissolved CO₂ forms ...

Our planet is sick, and its life-threatening symptoms are getting worse, a new report warns. Earth has been pushed past multiple physical and chemical boundaries crucial for keeping the world a ...

GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) - Ocean acidification, while not directly tied to climate change, is an issue that is becoming more problematic as the burning of fossil fuels pumps more carbon dioxide into ...

To some it was a reckless experiment but scientists hope the dispersal of 65,000 litres of sodium hydroxide into the Gulf of Maine could ease the climate crisis ...

(via Reactions) The ocean is getting more and more acidic. Can we solve it by emptying a giant bottle of antacid into the ocean? No… but the idea of lowering the ocean’s acidity in order to decrease ...

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 ...

Acidification is threatening the ocean’s ability to pull carbon dioxide out of our atmosphere, so scientists and startups are looking to ocean-sized antacids to raise its pH. While they might not be ...
