Oceans cop carbon impact
Davidson's work in Antarctic waters is part of a much broader study that seeks to know how whole communities of plants, animals and microbes living on the Antarctic sea floor respond to higher acid levels in the seawater around them.Donna Roberts is a senior scientist at the Antarctic Climate a...
