In determination of the capacity of water to neutralize acidic pollution, measurement of alkalinity is of paramount importance. Because of human activities, the alkalinity of rivers and streams may be ...

65,000 liters of bright red tracer-tagged chemical entering the ocean sounds less like climate research than a cleanup emergency. In fact, the release was part of a closely watched experiment in ocean ...

Now that we have the experiment started, as Hannah discusses in her most recent post, we’re done sorting amphipods and have moved onto doing seawater chemistry. Every morning we test six water samples ...

The ocean naturally absorbs a quarter to a third of man-made CO 2 emissions, but this process also leads to the acidification of seawater. By increasing the alkalinity of seawater through the addition ...

To mitigate climate change, human-made carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions must be reduced as quickly and drastically as possible. Additionally, some of the CO2 already emitted needs to be safely removed ...

Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) involves releasing certain minerals into the ocean, sparking a chemical reaction that enables the seawater to trap more CO₂ from the air and mitigating, albeit ...

Efforts to boost the ocean’s carbon-storing capacity by making seawater more alkaline could wreak havoc on the marine food web, researchers have warned. Ocean alkalinity enhancement is a proposed ...

A large container in the water. The lower half of the image is underwater, and the container spans the length of the photo. The upper part of the image is above water and shows the lid of the large ...

The study adopted an approach with moderate perturbations to seawater chemistry: CO₂-equilibrated Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement. With this approach, the alkalised water that has already absorbed CO 2 ...
