OCEAN ACIDIFICATION The world’s oceans have largely been left out of the mainstream discussion of global climate change. Yet‚ as one of the largest natural reservoirs of carbon‚ the surface ocean plays a critical role in the global carbon cycle. Over recent years‚ human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels have increased the amount of carbon dioxide gas emitted to the atmosphere and the amount that dissolves into the ocean. Over the last decade‚ scientists have discovered that this excess

BLUE OCEAN STRATEGY – ARTICLE CRITIQUE Blue Ocean is a strategy that is used to enter new and unexploited markets by creating new demand and thereby earning a high level of profits. This strategy helps a company in entering a market where there is no competition. This helps any company to assert the whole market as its own as there are no others to compete with. This is a big advantage of blue ocean strategy and enables a company to make higher level of profits as compared to it being in the red

Ocean Acidification The main theme of the 3 articles is that the ocean is becoming more acidic due to fossil-fuel emission of CO2. The ocean has absorbed about 525 billion tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere‚ this reduces the amount of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere (1). ). It is lowering the pH by .1 units changing it from 8.2 to 8.1… it is becoming more acidic. (2). It happens when the CO2 from the air mixes with the sea water‚ it produces a bicarbonate ion. This bicarbonate ion then

The ocean as vast and as mysterious as it is‚ is facing problems caused by humans dumping waste into it and that is causing marine life to be harmed. It was thought that the ocean was so deep and huge that no matter how much garbage you put into it would have small consequences. As we have seen that is very wrong‚ here are a few of the problems ocean pollution cause: Toxic metals can destroy the biochemistry‚ behavior‚ and reproduction of marine life. Fertilizer runoff creates eutrophication that

Ocean acidification is caused by CO2 in the atmosphere when it reacts with water it creates carbonic acid. It’s a significant and harmful consequence of excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that we don’t see or feel because its effects are happening underwater. When carbon dioxide is absorbed by seawater a chemical reaction occurs that reduces the seawaters pH‚ carbonate ion concentration‚ and saturation states of biologically significant calcium carbonate minerals. It decreases the pH of seawater
