Emergence of Human-Made Climate Impacts on Ocean (IMAGE)
Caption
Researchers led by Princeton University examined a range of possible climate-related impacts on the ocean to predict when these impacts are likely to occur. Some impacts - such as sea temperature rise and acidification - have already begun while others, like changes to microbial productivity, which serves as the basis of the marine food web, will happen over the next century. Images from NASA EarthData show ocean color, an indicator of microbial productivity.
