Greenhouse gases reached a record high in 2013, suggesting the Earth's natural "carbon sinks" may be nearing saturation.

Saturation state is shown to be the key component of marine carbonate chemistry affecting larval shell development and growth in two commercially important bivalve species.

During their four-year study, researchers found that an increase in winds over the Southern Ocean, caused by greenhouse gases and ozone depletion, has led to a release of stored CO2 into the ...
