Ocean uptake of carbon dioxide: Are the oceans acidifying? (Public Lectures, 7 July 2005, Australian Academy of Science)
Transcript of a lecture given by Dr Steve Widdicombe. Discusses the acidification of oceans.
Ocean acidification (Oceana)
Provides information on ocean acidification and a link to an extensive, clearly written report on the same topic.
The ocean acidification network
Contains information on the acidity of oceans, sequestration of carbon in the ocean and how ocean acidification affects marine life.
