Ocean acidification: de-gassing the myths

Ocean acidification is a term increasingly used by scientists and reported in the media as one of the big issues of concern for our planet. The complexity of the oceans buffering capacity and often poorly communicated scientific findings frequently leads to confusion. Join Dr Helen Findlay as she explores myths around ocean acidification and sets the record straight.

Dr Helen Findlay is a biological oceanographer, with a focus on carbonate chemistry, working at Plymouth Marine Laboratory. Helen has participated in numerous ocean acidification research programs within the EU and UK, and since 2010 has been focussing her research on the Arctic Ocean. Helen also has been heavily involved in bringing oceans into schools, education and outreach through her collaborations with Digital Explorer and Exeter University.
