Ocean and CO2 Acidification Long-Term Graph Increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere are making the oceans more acidic—in other words, lowering the pH of ocean water. Worldwide, the average pH of the upper ocean—the top 1,000 m—has declined 0.12, to 8.1, betw...
Since the start of the industrial revolution, carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere have increased dramatically (from 278 ppm pre-industrial to currently 417 ppm) (Rudd 2022). CO2 absorbs and radiates heat and is the most important greenhouse gas. The oceans are the greatest ally again...

The combustion of fossil fuel acts as a principal source of carbon dioxide (CO2) and is still contributing to its continuous rise in the atmosphere. The levels of CO2 in the atmosphere have significantly increased since the preindustrial era and future projections predict that its concentration ...
There are variations in the natural carbon cycle, such as during El Nino (more CO2 accumulation in the atmosphere) and La Nina (more CO2 removed from the atmosphere). Greater wildfire activity releases more CO2, while major volcanic eruptions (paradoxically) lead togreater photosynthesisfrom more ...
1. Introduction CO2 is the major anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) in the atmosphere. Its atmospheric concentration has increased to 384 ppm in 2007 from its pre-industrial level of ca. 280 ppm, and is expected to reach 550 ppm by 2050 even if CO2 emission is stable for the next four ...
the highly oxidative atmosphere and temperature –Requires oxygen plant DR –Suitable for the biogas reforming due to the readily available feed CO2 –Low H2/CO ratio –Limited applications –High tendency for coke formation due to low H/C and O/C ratios CSR –Technologically mature –Possibility...
Tools of the trade: With this review, the authors intend to describe the established and the unconventional analytical tools for the analysis of the interphase layers formed in Li-ion batteries (LIBs...
TanSat is a 620-kg satellite, sent into the synchronous orbit about 700 kilometers above the earth to analyze global CO2 levels every 16 days, accurate to at least 4 ppm and examine the concentration, distribution and flow of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. ...
The Arctic has experienced the most rapid change in climate of anywhere on Earth, and these changes are certain to drive changes in the carbon budget of th
