Actualización de lo que sabemos sobre la acidificación de los océanos y de los principales retos globales (Spanish)

Es asombroso pensar que hace sólo diez años casi nadie había oído hablar de la acidificación
del océano. Ahora es mucho más ampliamente comprendido que la creciente cantidad
de dióxido de carbono (CO2) que emitimos en el aire por nuestras actividades está
reaccionando con el océano alterando su química, recorriéndolo a lo largo de la escala hacia
la acidez y, entre otros efectos, reduciendo la disponibilidad de iones de carbonato que
necesitan muchos animales marinos y plantas para construir sus conchas y esqueletos…

Monitoring ocean carbon and ocean acidification

Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration has increased by 42% since the onset of the industrial revolution due to emissions from fossil fuel burning, cement production and land-use change…

State of the global climate 2020

In order to unpack such complexity, the WMO State of the Global Climate uses seven Climate Indicators to describe the changing climate providing a broad view of the climate at a global scale. They are used to monitor the domains most relevant to climate change, including the composition of the atmosphere, the energy changes that arise from the accumulation of greenhouse gases and other factors, as well as the responses of land, oceans and ice. The following site aims to provide an overview of the annually produced State of the Climate report.

NIWA: Ocean Acidification

The on-going rise of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is not only changing our climate; it is also changing our oceans. More than a quarter of the CO2 released to the air by human activities is absorbed by the world’s oceans.

Measuring ocean acidification: new technology for a new era of ocean chemistry

Human additions of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere are creating a cascade of chemical consequences that will eventually extend to the bottom of all the world’s oceans.

Forecasting impacts of ocean acidification on marine communities: utilizing volcanic CO2 vents as natural laboratories

Oceans have absorbed approximately 30% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, causing a phenomenon known as ocean acidification. With surface ocean pH changing at a rapid pace, continued uptake of CO2 is expected to decrease ocean pH by 0.3 pH units as early as 2081…
