Listen "How pollution is changing the ocean's chemistry | Triona McGrath"

Episode Synopsis

As we keep pumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, more of it is dissolving in the oceans, leading to drastic changes in the water's chemistry. Triona McGrath researches this process, known as ocean acidification, and in this talk she takes us for a dive into an oceanographer's world. Learn more about how the "evil twin of climate change" is impacting the ocean -- and the life that depends on it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
