Ocean Health Focus for Temple University Talk

On Thursday, March 20, The Seattle Times environmental reporter Craig Welch speaks at Temple University with a focus on ocean acidification and its impact on marine biodiversity and the communities threatened by our changing seas.

With excessive CO2 emissions from many regions around the world, ocean chemistry has been changing at an unprecedented rate. Ocean acidification is now one of the most prominent issues facing the planet. Welch and Seattle Times photographer Steve Ringman dug into the science behind this phenomenon and undertook reporting along the Pacific Northwest, and then to Arctic Alaska and the South Pacific with support from the Pulitzer Center. The results of their work: a series by The Seattle Times of in-depth reporting that no major news organization had attempted before and the Pulitzer Center "Sea Change" reporting project.

Welch's visit to Temple is made possible with the support of the Pulitzer Center and Temple University's School of Media & Communication.
