the biological carbon pump, phytoplankton (microscopic marine plants at the bottom of the oceanic food chain) take up CO 2 in the surface ocean and as part of photosynthesis convert it to particulate ...

and pump it into holes in the sea bed. The scientists call their project Solid Carbon because, if it works as they expect, the CO2 they inject will forever be rock at the bottom of the ocean.

By introducing clay dust into the marine ecosystem, researchers aim to enhance the efficiency of the biological pump—a natural cycle that transfers carbon from the atmosphere to the deep ocean.

The vertical migration of Antarctic krill may play a smaller role in oceanic carbon storage than previously believed, according to a year-long study in the Southern Ocean. The findings challenge ...

Hanwha Power Systems and Hanwha Ocean have signed a joint development and collaboration agreement with Baker Hughes to design ...

A seemingly minor trickle of groundwater beneath Alaska’s tundra is quietly releasing vast amounts of carbon into the ocean.

A relatively small amount of groundwater trickling through Alaska's tundra is releasing huge quantities of carbon into the ...

Carbon in the ocean can lead to higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the air, which contributes to climate change. The ...

Ocean ecosystems play a critical role ... other organisms in a phenomenon known as the “whale pump”. Crustaceans and fish transport carbon and nutrients by feeding in surface waters during ...
