When marine organisms die and sink, billions of tons of organic and inorganic carbon are carried downward each year. The ...

In some parts of the deep ocean, it can look like it's snowing. This "marine snow" is the dust and detritus that organisms slough off as they die and decompose. Marine snow can fall several kilometers ...

Gigablue’s ‘AI-optimized CDR’ approach is designed to re-create the optimal conditions for phytoplankton to play their part in oceanic carbon sequestration, with a goal to sequester 1Gt of CO₂ ...

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 ...

The scientists behind the first-of-its-kind experiment in the Gulf of Maine said they had sequestered carbon without harming marine life.

The ocean covers about 70% of the Earth's surface and already buffers a large fraction of anthropogenic CO2 emissions (NRC, 2017); hence, much of the global capacity for natural carbon sequestration ...

Wildfires pollute waterways and could affect their ability to sequester carbon, recent University of British Columbia research shows. Dr. Brian Hunt, professor in the Institute for the Oceans and ...

Divers from Dokuz Eylül University (DEU) Institute of Marine Sciences and Technology conduct a project to determine the carbon sequestration capacity of the endemic Posidonia Oceanica seagrasses of ...

The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has continued to accelerate, increasing by a record amount last year. Trees, plants and tiny plankton in the ocean all convert CO2 into the oxygen we ...
