Yaojia (Bobby) Sun from the Australian National University (anu.edu.au) provides a description of how the ocean might respond as atmospheric carbon dioxide continues to increase. This is part of a series of videos on how energy and biogeochemical processes interact with each other.

This clip has been created by the Research School of Earth Sciences (rses.anu.edu.au). These resources are part of a comprehensive program, curriculum matched to the unit 'Unit 2 Earth processes – energy transfers and transformations.' 

This video touches on the following curriculum descriptors: 
Energy is stored, transferred and transformed in the carbon cycle; biological elements, including living and dead organisms, store energy over relatively short timescales, and geological elements (for example, hydrocarbons, coal and kerogens) store energy for extended periods (ACSES056)
