Yale Environment 360: An international team of scientists has developed new methods for studying the acidity of the oceans from space, according to research published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology. Currently, scientists must rely on measurements taken from research vessels and sampling equipment deployed in oceans to determine acidity which rises as the oceans absorb CO2 from the atmosphere but this approach is expensive and geographically limited. The new techniques use satellite-mounted thermal...
