5 effects of climate change on the oceans


Welcome to my website! This website is intended to give a review of the major effects of climate change on the oceans, in a scientific essay format. Those effects being warmer oceans, rising sea levels, the melting of the permafrost, changes in oceanic circulation, and ocean acidification. On each tab I give a review of current scientific literature, followed by a brief section in which I touch on the consequences of each factor. I hope that this website informs, intrigues, and motivates. To start things off, check out the time-lapse of the Northern Arctic regions on this New York Times article. Enjoy!
