BOOK REVIEW | Ocean Acidification
This new book edited by Jean-Pierre Gattuso and Lina Hansson is a timely, interdisciplinary look at the phenomenon of ocean acidification, which refers broadly to changes in seawater chemistry caused by rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and the resulting effects on marine life and biogeochemis...
