In the midst of the COVID pandemic, scientists embarked on an ambitious research expedition to the North Atlantic to ...

Lava rubble at the bottom of the sea is acting like a giant "sponge" for carbon dioxide, ancient cores reveal.

The carbon cycle in our oceans is critical to the balance of life in ocean waters and for reducing carbon in the atmosphere, ...

As the sea surface cools down due to a hurricane, the ocean subsequently absorbs more carbon dioxide, as simulations at the ...

A team of researchers has used computer models to simulate tropical cyclones at high resolutions and investigate their effect ...

Researchers found that eroded lava rubble beneath the South Atlantic can trap enormous amounts of CO2 for tens of millions of ...

Researchers have uncovered surprising evidence that the deep ocean’s carbon-fixing engine works very differently than long ...

The Earth’s oceans play a vital role in the carbon cycle, making it imperative that we understand marine biological activity enough to predict how our planet will react to the extra 25 000 million ...

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 ...
