the ocean, soil and sediment, as part of what is called ‘the global carbon cycle.’ A change in any of these fluxes could have wide-ranging impacts on ecosystems and our climate. The IAEA Environment ...

Figure 1: Global circulation diagram relevant for the carbon cycle, and experimental set-up ... These nutrients are advected and mixed into the deep ocean; the preformed nutrient concentration ...

Marine life plays a pivotal role in Earth's carbon cycle. Phytoplankton at the base of the aquatic food web take up carbon ...

But that waste is pure gold to an oceanographer. In a study of the ocean's role in the global carbon cycle, oceanographers used those nuggets to their advantage. They incorporated the lifecycle of ...

The ocean plays a major role in the global carbon cycle. The driving force comes from tiny plankton that produce organic carbon through photosynthesis, like plants on land. When plankton die or ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Priya covers the ocean, climate change, and the future of our planet. Little light permeates 100 meters below sea level where ...

To support ocean carbon cycle research, ESA’s GlobColour project has merged 55 terabytes of data from three state-of-the-art instruments aboard different satellites, including MERIS aboard ESA ...

While researchers have long suspected that whales are key players in the ocean’s carbon cycle, quantifying exactly how these animals alter the seas — and what we lost with their decimation a ...

We use climate models and oceanographic observations to study the biogeochemistry of the ocean, including its carbon cycle. Many of our studies look at the connection between the ocean carbon cycle ...

These tiny organisms, commonly called “forams,” are ubiquitous in marine environments and play a key role in food webs and the ocean carbon cycle. After exposing them to a range of acidity levels, UC ...

Researchers from Zhejiang University used an earth system model to investigate how geoengineering would affect the global carbon cycle, with the focus on the ocean carbon cycle. The results have ...
