New Stanford-led research unveils a hidden factor that could change our understanding of how oceans mitigate climate change.

Shown are the links among the ocean's biological pump and pelagic food web. Light blue waters are the euphotic zone, while the darker blue waters represent the twilight zone. Disclaimer ...

Microscopic organisms in the ocean play a key role in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. A new study unveils a ...

The biological carbon pump involves uptake and fixation of inorganic carbon into organic matter by autotrophic organisms and subsequent transportation into the ocean’s depths. However, this is not a ...

The solubility pump has a biological counterpart known as the biological pump. For an overview of both pumps, see Raven & Falkowski (1999). [1] ...

Each year, the ocean absorbs between 5 and 10 gigatons of atmospheric carbon through biological processes, thus playing a ...

Until now, this process—the biological carbon pump—was thought to be particularly efficient in oxygen-poor areas. A new study by researchers at the GEOMAR Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research ...

"When organic matter from the surface ocean descends to the deep ocean, it acts as a biological pump that removes carbon from the atmosphere and stores it in seawater and sediments. Measuring the ...

Tó Nizhóní Ání, Diné Citizens Against Ruining our Environment and the Center for Biological Diversity have filed motions urging the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to deny preliminary permit ...

Scientists have known about this phenomenon -- known as the biological pump -- for some time. However, the exact manner in which these delicate particles fall (the ocean's average depth is 4 ...
