The ice plays a vital role in our climate system [...] greenhouse gas dissolves in the water. But this service provided by the oceans comes at a price. The more greenhouse gas the oceans remove from the atmosphere, the more acidic their waters become. Find out

However, this service comes at a high cost: The ocean is acidifying [...] and climate change are putting pressure on natural sinks on land and in the oceans. For example, in the past decade, the oceans have absorbed 10.5 metric gigatons per year on average, or 26 percent of overall [...] conditions have reduced the oceans’ capacity to absorb CO2 by roughly 6 percent,” says Prof Judith Hauck, an environmental researcher at the AWI, who coordinated the content on the ocean sinks.

To monitor such parameters in the ocean, it is common practice to analyze discrete water samples obtained e.g. by rosette
