Migration of these microscopic animals – known as a 'seasonal migrant pump' – supports carbon sequestration in the Southern ...

This diffusion‑limited regime likely dominates for fluffier aggregates made of phytoplankton remains, fecal pellets, or ...

Scientists want $60 million to try trapping carbon dioxide in the sea floor off the coast of Canada. They say reactive basalt rock across the planet could turn CO2 into rock at the bottom of the ...

The solid and dissolved minerals, which Equatic says can lock up carbon for at least 10,000 years, will be returned to the ocean or used on land.The seawater will also be sent back into the sea ...

Even so, the ocean is a dynamic, challenging landscape to work in. Scientists are still uncovering new details about how it absorbs and recycles carbon, and any materials they add to seawater are ...

Ocean Fertilization involves adding nutrients, such as iron, to the ocean to stimulate the growth of phytoplankton, which would increase the biological carbon pump’s capacity to absorb CO₂.

Our oceans play a fundamental role in Earth’s carbon cycle, and therefore in regulating our climate. Phytoplankton are at the heart of the biological component of the ocean carbon cycle.
