Oceanic uptake of anthropogenic CO<sub>2</sub> leads to decreased pH, carbonate ion concentration, and saturation state with respect to CaCO<sub>3</sub> minerals, causing increased dissolution of these minerals at the deep seafloor. This additional dissolution will figure prominently in the neutralization of man-made CO<sub>2</sub> However, there has been no concerted assessment of the current extent of anthropogenic CaCO<sub>3</sub> dissolution at the deep seafloor. Here, recent databases of bo ...[more]
