Excess carbon in the ocean leads to increased acidity & lower pH levels (a key indicator of Ocean acidification) 🌊

Currently, acidity is 40% higher than pre-industrial levels

Without significant reductions in CO2 emissions, this is expected to double or triple by 2100

Are you a STEM teacher? This #EarthDay , why not use some of the new #BrianCoxSchoolExperiments videos with your students? In this clip, Brian Cox speaks to Dr Helen Findlay at the Plymouth Marine Lab Laboratory about ocean acidification. royalsociety.org/news-resources…

We developed a reporter to track the acidification of dead cells by phagocytes. Huge thanks to my supervisors Dr Tim Sargeant Ville Makinen and all co-authors Julien Bensalem Aaron Casey

Soil acidification refers to the process by which soil becomes more acidic over time due to various natural and human-induced factors. This acidity is typically measured by the soil's pH level, with lower pH values indicating higher acidity.

Several factors contribute to soil

The series highlights new technologies and STEM careers for students aged 11-14 years, covering topics such as ocean acidification and genome editing. To see the full videos and download the free classroom resources here: royalsociety.org/news-resources… #BrianCoxSchoolExperiments

A recent study suggests that acidification could potentially deplete Indian soils of around 3.3 billion tonnes of crucial carbon, impacting both crop growth and carbon sequestration efforts.

A new study with researchers Emma Ransome and Jake Williams shows how ocean acidification is changing the mix of microbes in coral reef systems - and this can be used to measure how ecosystems are responding to human activities.

We observed intriguing behaviors of autophagy and acidification. Please free to give any feedback !

Happy #EarthDay islanders!

#JAWS inspired many of us to love #sharks . Habitat loss is closely related to the effects of . climate change, as both rising sea temperatures and acidification degrade shark habitats and make them difficult to survive in. Love the Earth. Love sharks!

Ocean Acidification: Threat to Marine Life: Ocean acidification, caused by increased CO2 absorption, harms marine ecosystems by weakening coral reefs, shellfish, and other marine life, disrupting the ocean's delicate pH balance.

If the risk of chronically low rainfall - acidification - in south-west Australia is linked to global mean warming as it appears to be, the 1.5° pathway with a lower peak temperature and a significantly declining warming from mid-century is likely to see a recovery in rainfall.

#Fossilfuels have been the main cause of @ocean acidification.
When they are burnt, they cause the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which dissolves, forming carbonic acid in the oceans. This lowers the pH level in the sea.

this is just a friendly reminder that we are heading towards a mass extinction :) wanna know why? the conditions the last extinction took place in are: collapse of the food web due to trophies downgrading (species extinctions), changes in sea level, ocean acidification, +
