Kulo nyaka, sikhombisile ukuthi ukuqeqeshwa okukude kungaba kuhle.
Ngohlelo lwethu lwe-International Ocean Acidification Initiative, i-Ocean Foundation iqhuba izinkundla zokucobelelana ngolwazi ezinikeza ososayensi ulwazi olunzulu lokulinganisa ukushintsha kwamakhemikhali olwandle. Onyakeni ojwayelekile, singaqhuba izinkundla zokucobelelana ngolwazi ezimbili ezinkulu futhi sisekele inqwaba yososayensi. Kodwa lo nyaka awujwayelekile. I-COVID-19 imise ikhono lethu lokuqhuba ukuqeqeshwa komuntu, kodwa ukugcwala kwe-asidi olwandle nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu akuyehlile. Umsebenzi wethu usadingeka njengakuqala.
I-Coastal Ocean and Environment Summer School e-Ghana (COESSING)
I-COESSING yisikole sasehlobo se-oceanography esesineminyaka emihlanu sisebenza eGhana. Imvamisa, kufanele bajikise abafundi ngenxa yezinkinga zesikhala, kepha kulo nyaka, isikole sixhumeke ku-inthanethi. Ngezifundo eziku-inthanethi, i-COESSING yavuleleka kunoma ubani eNtshonalanga Afrika owayefuna ukuthuthukisa amakhono akhe okufunda olwandle, njengoba yayingekho imingcele yendawo ebonakalayo okwakungakhulunywa ngayo.
U-Alexis Valauri-Orton, oyiSikhulu soHlelo e-The Ocean Foundation, uthathe ithuba lokwenza izifundo ze-acidification olwandle futhi wanxenxa abanye ochwepheshe ukuba basize ekuholeni izikhathi. Lesi sifundo sigcine sinabafundi abangama-45 nabaqeqeshi abayisi-7.
Isifundo esidizayinelwe i-COESSING sivumele abafundi abasha sha ku-oceanography ukuthi bafunde mayelana ne-acidification yolwandle, kanti futhi sidala amathuba edizayini yocwaningo oluthuthukisiwe kanye nethiyori. Kwabasanda kungena, silayishe isifundo sevidiyo esivela kuDkt. Christopher Sabine mayelana nezisekelo zokwenziwa kwe-asidi olwandle. Kulabo abathuthuke kakhulu, sinikeze izixhumanisi ze-YouTube ezifundweni zikaDkt. Andrew Dickson ngekhemikhali yekhabhoni. Ezingxoxweni ezibukhoma, bekukuhle ukusizakala ngamabhokisi ezingxoxo, njengoba kusiza izingxoxo zocwaningo phakathi kwabahlanganyeli nochwepheshe bomhlaba. Izindaba zashintshaniswa futhi sonke sathola ukuqonda kwemibuzo evamile kanye nemigomo.
Sibambe amaseshini amathathu ezingxoxo zamahora angu-2 kubahlanganyeli bawo wonke amazinga:
- Ithiyori ye-acidification yolwandle kanye ne-carbon chemistry
- Ifundwa kanjani imiphumela ye-acidification yolwandle ezinhlotsheni zezilwane nemvelo
- Indlela yokuqapha i-acidity yolwandle ensimini
Siphinde sakhetha amaqembu ayisithupha ocwaningo ukuze athole ukuqeqeshwa okungu-1:1 kubaqeqeshi bethu futhi siyaqhubeka nokuhlinzeka ngalezo zikhathi manje. Kulezi zikhathi zangokwezifiso, sisiza amaqembu ukuthi achaze imigomo yawo nokuthi angafinyelelwa kanjani, kungaba ngokuwaqeqesha ekulungiseni okokusebenza, ukusiza ngokuhlaziywa kwedatha, noma ukunikeza impendulo ngemiklamo yokuhlola.
Sibonga kakhulu ngokuseseka kwenu.
Wena yenza kube nokwenzeka ngathi ukuqhubeka sihlangabezana nezidingo zososayensi emhlabeni wonke, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi izimo zinjani. Ngiyabonga!
“Ngikwazile ukusebenzisa imali eyengeziwe ukuze nginwebe ukutholakala kwezinzwa kwezinye izindawo eNingizimu Afrika, futhi manje ngisebenza njengomeluleki wazo.

ukuthunyelwa. Ngaphandle kwe-TOF, bengingeke ngibe noxhaso noma imishini yokwenza noma yiluphi ucwaningo lwami.”

Isihloko Sezindaba
Umhla ziyisi-8 kuMasingana wuSuku Lokusebenza Lwe-Ocean Acidification, lapho izikhulu zikahulumeni zihlangana khona ukuze zidingide ukubambisana kwamazwe ngamazwe kanye nezindlela eziphumelelayo ekulweni nokugcwala kwe-asidi olwandle.
