Ocean Acidification Understanding the effects, exploring the solutions
Fabrice Pernet (auteur), Frédéric Gazeau (auteur) – Editions Quae – Collection Enjeux Sciences – 2025
Carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, resulting from the combustion of fossil fuels by human activity, reinforce the greenhouse effect and cause climate disruption. While public awareness of this global problem is growing, ocean acidification, described as “the other CO2 problem”, is still considerably unknown. In this book, the authors answer ten key questions on the biogeochemical basis of acidification, on past, current and future trends, on the impact on marine organisms and humans, and finally on remediation measures.
It draws its answers from fields as diverse as biogeochemistry, ecology, physiology, evolution, aquaculture and fisheries, economics and sociology.
This book is available in French: L’acidification des océans.

Underwater Noises
The marine world is not the famous world of silence described by Captain Cousteau. It is naturally rich in natural sounds – a simple rainfall or even the ricochet of waves can be heard underwater – but it is also rich in noise created by human activities, from a wide range of sources: motorboats passing by, offshore constructions, sonar, etc. If you would like to find out more and/or raise awareness on this subject, you will find a number of tools to help you develop your projects around noise pollution.
