Ocean acidification rarely makes headlines the way storms or heatwaves do, yet it quietly changes the chemistry that coral, ...

Postdoctoral researcher Laura Steeves collaborates with NOAA Fisheries to understand how a species important to New Jersey will respond to changing ocean conditions. The Atlantic surfclam is a ...

NOAA Fisheries continues to foster collaboration with Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Postdoctoral researcher Sam Gurr recently went on an international exchange to advance research on the effects of ...

An unhealthy sea butterfly, or pteropod, showing effects of ocean acidification including ragged, dissolving shell ridges on upper surface, a cloudy shell in lower right quadrant, and severe abrasions ...

Stressful childhoods can affect an individual’s adult years and influence future generations. Scientists at the University of California, Davis, found a similar pattern holds true for red abalone ...

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 ...

According to a recent study published in Nature, many planktonic foraminifera species may face unprecedented environmental conditions by the end of this century, potentially surpassing their survival ...

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 ...

Ocean acidification, driven by rising atmospheric CO₂ absorption into seawater, imposes multifaceted challenges on the early life stages of marine bivalves. Larvae, which rely on rapid precipitation ...

The beleaguered snow crab of the Bering Sea may have one strength that could help their population endure rapidly changing marine conditions: an apparent resilience to ocean acidification. Research by ...
