Understanding the Role of Marine Snow in Carbon Sequestration
Understanding the Role of Marine Snow in Carbon SequestrationNovember 29, 2024The ocean’s digestive system is dictated by picky microbes and precise dynamics of drifting debris. Carbon falls as “marine snow” through ocean layers, carrying...
Understanding the Role of Marine Snow in Ocean Carbon Sequestration
The ocean's digestive system is made up of picky microbes and the precise dynamics of drifting debris. Carbon falls through the ocean in the form of "marine snow," which consists of plankton carcasses, excrement,...
How Rainfall Increases Carbon Sequestration in the Ocean
Rainfall has a significant impact on carbon sequestration in the ocean, according to a recent study led by oceanographer David Ho. Ho's research shows that rain enhances the transfer velocity of carbon dioxide (CO2)...
