High pressure in the deep ocean may squeeze nutrients from sinking “marine snow,” feeding deep-sea microbes and altering how ...

There is growing interest in the scientific community and private sector in biological approaches to marine carbon dioxide removal—strategies designed to enhance the ocean's natural ability to absorb ...

In the midst of the COVID pandemic, scientists embarked on an ambitious research expedition to the North Atlantic to investigate the inner workings of the ocean’s carbon cycle. A series of storms ...

Scientists exploring ways to use the ocean as a carbon sink are running into a problem that could limit the technology’s long-term effectiveness: the nutrients that marine life needs to pull carbon ...

A Gulf of Maine field experiment shows that adding sodium hydroxide to seawater can pull carbon dioxide from the atmosphere within days.

In a step toward better understanding how the ocean sequesters carbon, new findings from UC Santa Barbara researchers and collaborators challenge the current view of how carbon dioxide is “fixed” in ...

Phytoplankton are key players in the ocean carbon cycle. Comprised of a variety of microscopic photosynthesizing bacteria, algae, and other single-cell organisms, phytoplankton form the base of marine ...

New research shows that early land plants started influencing Earth’s climate hundreds of millions of years earlier than ...

Dr Benjamin Harris receives funding from the Convex Seascape Survey. He works for the University of Exeter. Mara Fischer receives funding for her PhD research from the Convex Seascape Survey. Tara ...

Much of the organic carbon sinking into the deep ocean is carried by tiny organic particles known as marine snow. (Santa Barbara, Calif.) — In the midst of the COVID pandemic, scientists embarked on ...
