Lucie Ahn, James Flynn, Roland Huang Global climate change is the alteration of the earth’s climate system, and ocean acidification pertains to a decrease in pH due to dissolving carbon dioxide into the ocean. Though scientists view the two as equally important, the public is less aware of ocean acidification than global climate change. Also [...]

Michael Kaelin, Crystal Owens, Bruno Semenzato Ocean acidification, which has recently surfaced in the public view, is the process through which atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is absorbed by the oceans, making them more acidic. Researchers at Duke University conducted a survey to explore public attitudes towards reducing CO2 emissions. Respondents were found from a global [...]

Daniel Li, Jesus Sambrine, Brandon Sassouni Global warming and ocean acidification, the uptake of carbon dioxide by the earth’s oceans, are both serious environmental problems. The main objective of this research project is to understand how one’s perception of global warming relates to one’s knowledge and awareness of ocean acidification. An extensive survey was created [...]
