Description for Ocean Acidification Paperback. The ocean helps moderate climate change thanks to its considerable capacity to store CO2, however the consequences of this process, known as "ocean acidification", are raising concerns for the biological, ecological, and biogeochemical health of the world's oceans, as well as the potential societal implications. Editor(s): Gattuso, Jean-Pierre; Hansson, Lina. Num Pages: 352 pages, 75 illustrations. BIC Classification: PSAF; PSPM; RBKC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 245 x 190 x 17. Weight in Grams: 766.
The ocean helps moderate climate change thanks to its considerable capacity to store CO2, through the combined actions of ocean physics, chemistry, and biology. This storage capacity limits the amount of human-released CO2 remaining in the atmosphere. As CO2 reacts with seawater, it generates dramatic changes in carbonate chemistry, including decreases in pH and carbonate ions and an increase in bicarbonate ions. The consequences of this overall process, known as "ocean acidification", are raising concerns for the biological, ecological, and biogeochemical health of the world's oceans, as well as for the potential societal implications. This research level text is the ... Read more

About . Ed(S): Gattuso, Jean-Pierre; Hansson, Lina
Jean-Pierre Gattuso is CNRS Research Professor at the Laboratoire d'Océanographie de Villefranche, CNRS and Université Pierre et Marie Curie-Paris 6. His main research activity relates to the cycling of carbon and carbonate in coastal ecosystems. More recently, he focused on the response of marine organisms and ecosystems to ocean acidification and published his first paper on this topic in 1998. ... Read more

Reviews for Ocean Acidification
This work will serve as a primary reference for anyone concerned about ocean acidification, including scientists and professionals. The writing is clear enough to serve as a reference for motivated students and laypeople. It should be required reading in every course on climate change. N. W. Hinman, CHOICE
