Richard A. Feely

Richard A. Feely is a prominent marine scientist known for his research in ocean chemistry and the impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems. He is particularly recognized for his work on ocean acidification, a process caused by increased carbon dioxide absorption in oceans, which affects marine life, especially organisms with calcium carbonate structures, like corals and shellfish. Feely’s research has helped raise awareness about the changing oceans and the importance of sustainable practices to mitigate climate impacts, contributing significantly to our understanding of how human activities influence marine environments.
