Scientists discover an ocean 400 miles beneath our feet that could fill our oceans three times over
2014-06-17 15:44:38| Extremetech
After decades of theorizing and searching, scientists are reporting that they've finally found a massive reservoir of water in the Earth's mantle -- a reservoir so vast that could fill the Earth's oceans three times over. As always, the more we understand about how the Earth formed, and how its multitude of interior layers continue to function, the more accurately we can predict the future. Weather, sea levels, climate change -- these are all closely linked to the tectonic activity that endlessly churns away beneath our feet.

Papua New Guinea: My dive into the blighted future of acidified oceans

New Scientist: I HAVE gazed into the future of the tropical oceans, and it's not a reassuring sight. In Papua New Guinea, the Ring of Fire has bestowed a unique gift on science - an underwater vent of pure carbon dioxide. Normally researchers projecting the effect of rising CO2 must rely on computer models. But here they can observe it for real as the CO2 bubbles dissolve to form carbonic acid, creating on a small scale the conditions expected globally by the end of the century. At first it is a beguiling...
