New approaches for understanding oceanic carbon uptake (Carbon Export)
Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2009,
The oceans play a crucial role in the uptake of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), a man-made greenhouse gas that strongly influences global climate. Certain marine organisms are hypothesized to greatly enhance CO2 removal during growth. A percentage of these cells subsequently sink, transporting the C to depth where it remains for millennia. Research has shown that one such group of organisms, di- ...
