Dr. Richard Feely

Dr. Richard Feely is a renowned oceanographer who studies how human activities, like burning fossil fuels, impact the oceans. His research focuses on issues such as ocean acidification—where increased carbon dioxide makes seawater more acidic—and its effects on marine life. By understanding these changes, Dr. Feely helps inform efforts to protect ocean ecosystems and address climate change. His work is critical in revealing how human actions influence ocean chemistry and the health of marine environments worldwide.
