A review published Monday in Frontiers in Marine Science is the first to map exactly which molecular components inside a shellfish shell each ocean stressor attacks — and to show why combining them ...

A 113-million-year-old marine murder mystery may finally be solved. Using chemical clues locked inside microscopic fossils, Northwestern University scientists found evidence that ocean acidification ...

Calcium is a key component in the shell and skeleton structure, serving as a second messenger for regulating biomineralization across many species. Ocean acidification (OA) is well-studied for causing ...

A 113-million-year-old marine murder mystery may finally be solved. Using chemical clues locked inside microscopic fossils, Northwestern University scientists found evidence that ocean acidification ...

Chemical clues preserved in tiny shells reveal that ocean acidification doomed a group of planktonic organisms that have outsized impact on climate Jack Tamisiea Jonathan Chen (right), a former ...

The world's oceans are in trouble. Every day, 22 million tons of carbon dioxide from factories, cars, power plants and other human sources are absorbed by the world's oceans. The result? A frightening ...

A team of planetary scientists, ecologists, and marine biologists affiliated with several institutions in the U.S. and one in the U.K., has found evidence suggesting that parts of the world's oceans ...

Ocean acidification is one of the clearest examples of how planet-heating pollution moves through natural systems and into everyday life.

For more than 200 years, or since the industrial revolution, the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO 2) in the atmosphere has increased due to the burning of fossil fuels and land use change. The ...
