EU-funded researchers are developing a new generation of ocean sensors able to monitor previously hard-to-reach areas, promising clearer insight into how marine ecosystems are responding to climate ...

In the midst of the COVID pandemic, scientists embarked on an ambitious research expedition to the North Atlantic to investigate the inner workings of the ocean's carbon cycle. A series of storms ...

Tiny marine plankton that build calcium carbonate shells play an outsized role in regulating Earth’s climate, quietly pulling carbon from the atmosphere and helping lock it away in the deep ocean. New ...

Narrow bands of ocean covering just over one-third of the world's seas are responsible for absorbing nearly three-quarters of ...

Much of the organic carbon sinking into the deep ocean is carried by tiny organic particles known as marine snow. (Santa Barbara, Calif.) — In the midst of the COVID pandemic, scientists embarked on ...

New research reveals the source of this carbon – and the driving forces behind it – are far more complex than previously thought.

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 ...

In a step toward better understanding how the ocean sequesters carbon, new findings from UC Santa Barbara researchers and collaborators challenge the current view of how carbon dioxide is “fixed” in ...

How is organic matter transported from productive coastal areas to the open ocean? Researchers have now shown that eddies play a crucial role in this process. The swirling currents contain large ...

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (AP) — From the grounds of a gas-fired power plant on the eastern shores of Canada, a little-known company is pumping a slurry of minerals into the ocean in the name of stopping ...

In this photo provided by the Ocean Alk-Align project, pink dye is released into Tufts Cove along Halifax Harbour in Nova Scotia, Canada, as part of a project by the company Planetary Technologies to ...
