Tracking Earth's Climate Change: Recent Data and Observations

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on tracking Earth's climate change, specifically focusing on ocean pH levels. Participants reference the Gaia hypothesis and emphasize the importance of maintaining a scientific approach to discussions. A key resource mentioned is NOAA's ocean acidification data, which provides insights into historical and current pH measurements. Notably, a specific measurement of ocean pH at 7.4 in Oregon between 2011-2013 is highlighted, with a request for additional data from that period.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Gaia hypothesis
  • Familiarity with ocean acidification concepts
  • Knowledge of NOAA data resources
  • Research skills for accessing scientific publications
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore NOAA's ocean acidification data portal
  • Research ocean pH measurements from 2011-2013
  • Investigate the implications of the Gaia hypothesis on climate science
  • Review publications from Scientific Reports regarding ocean pH levels
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, environmental scientists, and climate change enthusiasts seeking to understand ocean acidification and its historical data trends.

Im quite fascinated over how Earth is constantly trying to stabilise itself. What is your most interesting observation or 'happening' about climate change?

Are you referring to the Gaia hypothesis? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_hypothesis

Otherwise please remember that we discuss science here, not whatever happenings may turn out to be posted. This kind of thread can easily veer off course. Please - let's stay on course. Thanks.

Of course, and of course. I just need some new inputs for research opportunities. Do you know where I can find information about the highest measured pH-level in the ocean?
 
Currently, historically, or in the geologic record? NOAA has this:

Note all of the very recent changes in how you get data.

Thanks. I was thinking currently or between 2011-2013. It was measured 7.4 in Oregon between 2011-2013, a publication from Scientific Reports that I've read about, but can not find.. Interested in finding different measurements in this period, and where.
