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 hidden biological factor that could change our understanding of how this ...

A remarkable image of a coccolithophore is one of the 12 finalists in the 2024 Beaker Street Science Photography Prize ...

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 ...

TruDiagnostic, one of the most widely used and respected direct-to-consumer biological age tests, charges $500 to pump out a biological age estimate and a predicted pace of aging based on dried blood ...

Gait changes. Fallen arches. A whole new shoe size. Many women experience these transformations during pregnancy, but the ...

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 ...
