AB: Since many astrobiologists are currently examining hydrothermal vents, in search of extremophiles, does the prebiotic chemistry actually get decomposed rather than enhanced by the presence of such ocean venting?

This setup consists of an atmospheric model with a simple mixed - layer ocean model, but that doesn't include chemistry, aerosol vegetation or dynamic ice sheet modules.

What do you KNOW about physics, chemistry and biology of Oceans?

The ocean model I used does carbon chemistry, with plankton and gas exchange and all that.

Experiments on echinoderms, for example, show great sensitivity of reproductive success on ocean chemistry changes but we do not know the potential for micro-evolutionary adaptation.

We do not know what changing ocean chemistry will do to marine biota (other than some calcifiers) and especially we do not know what the long - term chronic effects will be on ecosystems.

«Basic chemistry tells us that within decades there may be serious trouble brewing in the polar oceans,» says James Orr, lead author and ocean modeler from the French Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l'Environnement, who further adds, «unlike climate predictions, the uncertainties here are small.»

There is no surprise that the CO2 in the atmosphere winds up partially in the oceans, nor that the amount of CO2 going into or coming out of the oceans varies in time and space — that's simple equilibrium chemistry between the liquid (that is, dissolved) and gaseous phases, and does explain part of the variability about the long term rising trend.

I do certainly agree that ocean chemistry and pH is not only about CO2 but very much about buffering where carbonate supply is essential.

Because the calculations to exactly balance that reaction can be complicated, given temperature and salinity considerations, which is a bit much to expect the ocean to do in its head without a calculator or formal education in chemistry.

I looked into this after your post about a year ago on the Argo float temperatures and how the ocean generally does not heat above 30 degrees C. My knowledge of chemistry is limited; but, I noted these things: Carbon dioxide as well as other gasses in water act like a liquid.
