The new technique begins with large blooms of microscopic plants called phytoplankton. These phytoplankton blooms remove ...

Plankton is the name given to a collection of tiny sea life that lives in the ocean. These minute organisms may be small, but they have a big role to play in maintaining the health of our oceans ...

A new study led by Dartmouth College proposes a method to enlist immense populations of zooplankton in reducing atmospheric ...

The researchers aim to enhance the efficiency of the biological pump—a cycle that transfers carbon from the atmosphere to the ...

A study led by Dartmouth researchers shows that microscopic marine animals called zooplankton (pictured) can be enticed to ingest organic carbon particulates in seawater that are later confined to the ...

A Dartmouth-led study proposes a new method for recruiting trillions of microscopic sea creatures called zooplankton in the ...

He and colleagues propose a novel approach that involves zooplankton poop in a Nature report. Many groups are proposing ...

Some of the world's smallest animals and their tiny poops could aid in the fight against climate change. A study reports that clay dust sprayed on the surface of seawater converts free-floating carbon ...

Accelerating the ocean's uptake of CO2 by increasing its alkalinity could mitigate climate change, but little is known about ...

The ocean naturally absorbs a quarter to a third of man-made CO2 emissions, but this process also leads to the acidification ...

To mitigate climate change, human-made carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions must be reduced as quickly and drastically as possible. Additionally, some of the CO2 already emitted needs to be safely removed ...
