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

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

Plankton, the base of the food chain for marine ecosystems worldwide, are facing potential dangers as the oceans warm. This ...

Our study highlights the difference between faster human-induced and slower-paced geological warming for marine plankton. Current climate change is too rapid and is reducing food supply due to ...

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

To mitigate climate change, human-made carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions must be reduced as quickly and drastically as possible. Additionally, some of the CO2 already emitted needs to be safely removed ...

Researchers have discovered significant changes in the growth patterns of deep-living phytoplankton due to global warming, as ...

Ocean Density Identified as a Key Driver of Carbon Capture by Marine Plankton Dec. 3, 2024 — New findings have revealed that changes in ocean density have a significant impact on the rate at ...

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