9 gru 2019 · The ocean’s chemistry is changing due to the uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2). This phenomenon, commonly referred to as “Ocean Acidification”, is endangering coral reefs and the...
24 lut 2023 · Carbonated water has benefits for digestion. It may improve swallowing, increase feelings of fullness, and reduce constipation.
Carbon dioxide and seawater. Carbon dioxide, which is naturally in the atmosphere, dissolves into seawater. Water and carbon dioxide combine to form carbonic acid (H 2 CO 3), a weak acid that breaks (or “dissociates”) into hydrogen ions (H +) and bicarbonate ions (HCO 3-).
2 gru 2021 · Observations from research aircraft show that the Southern Ocean absorbs much more carbon from the atmosphere than it releases, confirming it is a very strong carbon sink and an important buffer for the effects of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions, according to a new, NASA-supported study.
9 lis 2021 · One third of the carbon dioxide in our atmosphere dissolves in the ocean. It therefore acts as an important buffer against rising temperatures.
9 cze 2020 · Alkalinity, the excess of proton acceptors over donors, plays a major role in ocean chemistry, in buffering and in calcium carbonate precipitation and dissolution. Understanding alkalinity dynamics is pivotal to quantify ocean carbon dioxide uptake during times of global change.
Aquatic ecosystems play an essential role in the greenhouse gas emissions cycle. Water bodies can sequester carbon — and they can also release emissions. Reducing these emissions and exploring ways of increasing their potential for carbon uptake is at the center of new climate research at YSE.
