Who first proposed the equation for the formation of biogenic carbonate?

The chemical equation: Ca2+ + 2HCO3- = CaCO3 + CO2 + H2O is often quoted as the equation for the formation of biogenic calcium carbonate. Does anyone know its history or who first proposed this...

Why are the oceans alkaline?

A neutral ocean would have a pH of 7, but the pH of the oceans is about 8. Adding CO2 to the atmosphere is leading to the oceans becoming more acidic, i.e. the pH is falling below 8. Is it oxygen...

What is your perception on using visual analysis or quantitative approaches to evaluate data from single-case research designs (n of 1 trials)?

Results of single-case research designs (i.e., n-of-1 trials) are often evaluated by visually inspecting the time-series graph and computing quantitative indices. A question our research team is...
