Perspectives on Ocean Science: Acidic Oceans: Why Should We Care?

Mon, Jan 12 2009
Andrew Dickson, Marine Chemist As a result of human activities, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are higher now than they have been for millions of years. But the atmosphere is not the only resting place for such excess carbon dioxide. Almost half of the carbon dioxide emitted by human activities has been absorbed by the ocean, changing its chemistry in ways that may have significant effects on marine ecosystems. Join Andrew Dickson as he explains what we know (and what we don't) about this emerging problem.
