SRI Leads Research Team to Next Phase of Wendy Schmidt Ocean Health XPRIZE Competition
The health of the world’s oceans impacts all of our lives, because oceans are much like the lungs of our planet, albeit acting in reverse—consuming carbon dioxide (CO2) and releasing oxygen. The Wendy Schmidt Ocean Health XPRIZE aims to improve understanding of how CO2 emissions are acidifying the oceans through a $2 million competition to create pH sensor…
