| Zusammenfassung |
| This review covers the development of ocean acidification science, with an
emphasis on the creation of ocean chemical knowledge, through the course of
the 20th century. This begins with the creation of the pH scale by
Sørensen in 1909 and ends with the widespread knowledge of the impact of
the "High CO2 Ocean" by then well underway as the trajectory along the
IPCC scenario pathways continues. By mid-century the massive role of the
ocean in absorbing fossil fuel CO2 was known to specialists, but not
appreciated by the greater scientific community. By the end of the century
the trade-offs between the beneficial role of the ocean in absorbing some
90% of all heat created, and the accumulation of some 50% of all
fossil fuel CO2 emitted, and the impacts on marine life were becoming
more clear. This paper documents the evolution of knowledge throughout this
period. |
