This groundbreaking NRDC documentary explores the startling phenomenon of ocean acidification, which may soon challenge marine life on a scale not seen for tens of millions of years. The film, featuring Sigourney Weaver, originally aired on Discovery Planet Green. Acid Test: The...
ABC's World News Webcast has this Clayton Sandell report on the new danger facing the world's oceans thanks to global warming: the oceans are not only becoming warmer, they're more acidic. Ocean Acidification
Our emissions of carbon dioxide threaten to alter the very chemistry of sea water and change life in our oceans within the span of a single human lifetime. An animation by Leo Murray for Greenpeace. Ocean...
Ocean Acidification is a global-scale change in the basic chemistry of oceans that is under way now, as a direct result of the increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. We are just beginning to understand the impacts of Ocean Acidification on life in the ocean. The moniker osteoporosis of the sea, gives you a hint about some of its impacts.

Dr. Earle came up for air to talk with Grists Umbra Fisk at the Environmental Film Festival in Washington, DC. Her Deepness was there to help promote a film made by NRDC about the problems of ocean acidification from carbon dioxide called Acid Test. She talks about the greatest threats to the ocean, fish sandwiches and being on The Colbert Report. Dr. Sylvia Earle...

Monitoring ocean acidification is important because changes in the ocean's carbonate chemistry can have a major impact on the plant and animal life present in the ocean. For organisms with external calcium carbonate skeletons, such as corals and pteropods, the consequences can be very negative if the oceans become undersaturated (corrosive) with respect to aragonite, a form of calcium carbonate. It has been demonstrated that pteropods, a planktonic mollusk, may not be able to maintain their shells in undersaturated waters. In some studies, live pteropods were subjected to waters that are undersaturated with respect to aragonite and their shells begin to dissolve within 48 hours (Feely et al., 2004; Orr et al 2005 ). Image of Ocean Acidification Color Bar This dataset has both historic and forecasted model-based changes in the ocean's carbonate chemistry due to increasing CO2 levels, as well as the presence of coral reefs depicted. The coral reefs are represented by black X's for shallow water species and magenta X's for deep water species. The ocean acidification levels are based on the median model output of the 13 international ocean carbon models based on the OCMIP-2 Project (Orr et al. 2005). The model outputs are represented on the global map in 5-yr increments from 1765 thru 2100. The future changes in CO2 chemistry were determined based on atmospheric CO2 scenarios presented in The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) IS92a 'continually increasing' CO2 <b>...</b> Ocean...

A simple, straightforward explanation of ocean acidification, the change in ocean chemistry caused by excess carbon dioxide in the air, which in turn comes from the burning of fossil fuels. Jeff is a scientist with the Marine Conservation Biology Institute (MCBI). This was shot in Barcelona at the IUCN World Conservation Congress. Jeff Ardron...

There's been plenty of doom and gloom predictions about the effects of carbon emissions on the planet. One of the major impacts is being seen in our oceans which are becoming more and more acidic as more carbon dioxide is absorbed into them. The results have been disastrous for marine life. NewsX correspondent Aafreen Alam traveled all the way to the Arctic Circle to bring you this report. Ocean...
Ocean acidification is one of the most worrying impacts climate change will have on the Reef. This is a highly complex topic and this animation does not explain the process in detail, rather uses a characters experience of this phenomenon to illicit an emotional understanding that ocean acidification will alter life on coral reefs.
