Summer 2014 Saw Warmest Ocean Temperatures Ever Recorded
2014-11-14 22:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Summer 2014 saw the warmest ocean temperatures ever recorded, according to a new report, proving that global warming is not slowing down. But many people, including scientists, did think at one point that global warming had indeed taken a break. Greenhouse gas levels may have increased drastically in recent years, hitting a record high in 2013, but overall global tempratures have actually barely risen in the last 16 years, according to a recent study published in the journal Nature Geoscience...

Study examines the role of the deep ocean in carbon dioxide storage
2014-11-13 18:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: The Southern Ocean plays an important role in the exchange of carbon dioxide between the atmosphere and the ocean. One aspect of this is the growth of phytoplankton, which acts as a natural sponge for carbon dioxide, drawing the troublesome greenhouse gas from the atmosphere into the sea. When these plankton die they can sink to the bottom of the ocean and store some of the carbon dioxide they have absorbed, a process scientists call the "biological carbon pump." Although many areas of the Southern...
New Global Maps Detail Seasonal and Geographic Trends in Ocean Acidification
2014-11-13 18:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: A team of scientists has published the most comprehensive analysis yet of how acidity levels vary across the worlds oceans. Drawing on four decades of measurements, researchers from Columbia University and the University of Colorado mapped changes in ocean acidity by season and location, as well as how acidity levels affect the stability of shell-building minerals. The maps reveal that the northern Indian Ocean is at least 10 percent more acidic than the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, possibly due...
