Electrically Speaking: Carbonated Oceans
The oceans are great absorbers of carbon dioxide released through the burning of fossil fuels. However, this is not without a cost to our oceans. Students measure the pH of a variety of cold and warm samples of water in order to examine the dueling parameters of increasing temperature and increasing acidification of the oceans. They then apply their new knowledge to further their understanding of the complex geochemical cycles of the world's oceans.
