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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

When marine organisms die and sink, billions of tons of organic and inorganic carbon are carried downward each year. The ...

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 ...

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

In this photo provided by the Ocean Alk-Align project, pink dye is released into Tufts Cove along Halifax Harbour in Nova Scotia, Canada, as part of a project by the company Planetary Technologies to ...
