Most carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere as a result of the burning of fossil fuels will eventually be absorbed by the ocean, with potentially adverse consequences for marine biota. Here we quantify the changes in ocean pH that may result from this continued release of CO2 and compare these with pH changes estimated from geological and historical records. We find that oceanic absorption of CO2 from fossil fuels may result in larger pH changes over the next several centuries than any…

Ocean Acidification of the North Pacific Ocean

The addition of fossil fuel carbon dioxide to the atmosphere is rapidly changing seawater chemistry and the calcium carbonate saturation state of the world’s oceans as a result of the acidifying…

History of Seawater Carbonate Chemistry, Atmospheric CO 2 , and Ocean Acidification

Humans are continuing to add vast amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere through fossil fuel burning and other activities. A large fraction of the CO2 is taken up by the oceans in a…

If solar radiation management were to be the main policy response to counteract global warming, ocean acidification would continue to be driven by increases in atmospheric CO2, although with additional temperature-related effects on CO2 and CaCO3 solubility and terrestrial carbon sequestration.

The Geological Record of Ocean Acidification

The geological record contains long-term evidence for a variety of global environmental perturbations, including ocean acidification plus their associated biotic responses, over the past ~300 million years of Earth’s history.

Ocean acidification: a millennial challenge

During recent decades, Earth system research has provided overwhelming evidence that climate change, with disastrous consequences, will result from unbridled anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse…

Global declines in oceanic nitrification rates as a consequence of ocean acidification

It is suggested that ocean acidification could reduce nitrification rates by 3–44% within the next few decades, affecting oceanic nitrous oxide production, reducing supplies of oxidized nitrogen in the upper layers of the ocean, and fundamentally altering nitrogen cycling in the sea.

Impacts of Climate Change on Ocean Acidification

Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations have increased from 280 ppm to around 380 ppm over the last 200 years through human activities, in particular the burning of fossil fuels. Projections are…

Major Emitters Among Hardest Hit by Ocean Acidification An Analysis of the Impacts of Acidification on the Countries of the World

Billions of tons of carbon dioxide are pumped into the atmosphere every year, predominantly from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil. The oceans provide a great service by absorbing…

Detecting anthropogenic carbon dioxide uptake and ocean acidification in the North Atlantic Ocean

Abstract. Fossil fuel use, cement manufacture and land-use changes are the primary sources of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere, with the ocean absorbing approximately 30% (Sabine…

Accelerating carbonate dissolution to sequester carbon dioxide in the ocean: Geochemical implications

Various methods have been proposed for mitigating release of anthropogenic CO2 to the atmosphere, including deep‐sea injection of CO2 captured from fossil‐fuel fired power plants. Here, we use a…

The role of the southern ocean in uptake and storage of anthropogenic carbon dioxide

If global climate change reduces the density of surface waters in the Southern Ocean, isopycnal surfaces that now outcrop may become isolated from the atmosphere, tending to diminish Southern Ocean carbon uptake.

Seawater pH and Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide

Geochemical consequences of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide on coral reefs

A coral reef represents the net accumulation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) produced by corals and other calcifying organisms. If calcification declines, then reef-building capacity also declines.…

Aftermath of the end‐Cretaceous mass extinction: Possible biogeochemical stabilization of the carbon cycle and climate

In the aftermath of the Cretaceous/Tertiary (K/T) boundary event (∼65 m.y. ago), pelagic carbonate productivity was greatly reduced for several hundred thousand years. A decrease in carbonate…

Evidence for a higher pH in the glacial ocean from boron isotopes in foraminifera

Reduced calcification of marine plankton in response to increased atmospheric CO2

It is suggested that the progressive increase in atmospheric CO2 concentrations may slow down the production of calcium carbonate in the surface ocean, as the process of calcification releases CO2 to the atmosphere.
