Coral reefs are found in a wide range of environments, where they provide food and habitat
to a large range of organisms as well as providing many other ecological goods and …

Over the coming century humanity may need to find reservoirs to store several trillions of
tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted from fossil fuel combustion, which would otherwise …

Approximately one-quarter of the anthropogenic carbon dioxide released into the
atmosphere each year is absorbed by the global oceans, causing measurable declines in …

The 'Anthropocene'is now being used as a conceptual frame by different communities and in
a variety of contexts to understand the evolving human–environment relationship. However …

Chemical breakdown of rocks, weathering, is an important but very slow part of the carbon
cycle that ultimately leads to CO 2 being locked up in carbonates on the ocean floor. Artificial …

Coral reefs feed millions of people worldwide, provide coastal protection and generate
billions of dollars annually in tourism revenue. The underlying architecture of a reef is a …

Solar geoengineering refers to deliberately reducing net radiative forcing by reflecting some
sunlight back to space, in order to reduce anthropogenic climate changes; a possible such …

Carbon dioxide (CO 2) is, next to water vapour, considered to be the most important natural
greenhouse gas on Earth. Rapidly rising atmospheric CO 2 concentrations caused by …

Enhanced weathering of mafic and ultramafic rocks has been suggested as a carbon
sequestration strategy for the mitigation of climate change. This study was designed to …

Abstract The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is founded on reef-building corals. Corals build their
exoskeleton with aragonite, but ocean acidification is lowering the aragonite saturation state …
