The technique harnesses the animals' daily habits to essentially accelerate the ocean’s natural cycle for removing carbon ...

The ocean naturally absorbs a quarter to a third of man-made CO2 emissions, but this process also leads to the acidification ...

Discover how plankton, the ocean's microscopic marvels, play a vital role in oxygen production and carbon sequestration.

New findings have revealed that changes in ocean density have a significant impact on the rate at which marine plankton incorporate carbon into their shells. This has profound implications for carbon ...

Leveraging the food of tiny phytoplankton could trap carbon and sequester it to the ocean’s bottom.

Study shows ocean density changes affect plankton's carbon storage Melting ice sheets lead to reduced plankton calcification and CO2 Research offers insights into plankton's role in regulating ...

One Earth satellite can see plankton that photosynthesize. The other measures water surface height. Together, their data ...

The researchers aim to enhance the efficiency of the biological pump—a cycle that transfers carbon from the atmosphere to the ...

The new technique begins with large blooms of microscopic plants called phytoplankton. These phytoplankton blooms remove ...

About four million common murres were killed by a domino effect of ecosystem changes, and the population is showing no signs ...

Hotter oceans kill plankton, upon which the entire maritime ecosystem depends. They are the meal at the base of the food ...
