OCEAN ACIDIFICATION: A SCHOOL EXPERIMENT
participant Marine water is becoming more acidic because of the rising of atmospheric CO2 partial pressure and thats seems to be almost unknown to the public. A partnership with a middle school was established by the University of Trieste to fill the gap between research and educational system. An e...
