Synopsis

Ocean acidification, described as "the other CO2 problem, is still considerably unknown. In this book, the authors answer ten key questions on the biogeochemical basis of acidification, on past, current and future trends, on the impact on marine organisms and humans, and finally on remediation measures.

À propos des auteurs

Frédéric Gazeau is a research scientist at CNRS and director of the Villefranche oceanography laboratory. Expert in biogeochemistry, he is interested in the effects of ocean acidification and warming on calcifying organisms, and is working on developing methods to study the impact of these factors on marine ecosystems.



Fabrice Pernet est chercheur à l’Ifremer à Brest, spécialisé en écophysiologie des organismes marins. Passionné par le vivant, il s’intéresse à l’effet des changements globaux sur les organismes marins et l’aquaculture. En parallèle de ses recherches, il est engagé dans la sensibilisation du grand public aux enjeux liés à l’océan et au climat.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, resulting from the combustion of fossil fuels by human activity, reinforce the greenhouse effect and cause climate disruption. While public awareness of this global problem is growing, ocean acidification, described as "the other CO2 problem", is still considerably unknown.
In this book, the authors answer ten key questions on the biogeochemical basis of acidification, on past, current and future trends, on the impact on marine organisms and humans, and finally on remediation measures.
It draws its answers from fields as diverse as biogeochemistry, ecology, physiology, evolution, aquaculture and fisheries, economics and sociology.
