The research team offers a fresh perspective on the role that a unique group of microscopic algae play in carbon sequestration – the natural storage of carbon in the ocean. Microscopic algae known as ...
However, the extraordinary impacts the planet has witnessed – including extreme weather, heat waves, wildfires, coral bleaching and ecosystem destruction – point to a need to swiftly reduce carbon ...
In fact, every decade since 1984, when satellite recordkeeping of ocean temperatures started, has been warmer than the previous one. The global ocean’s surface temperature was still well above average ...

Warming ocean water also affects temperatures on land by changing weather patterns. Climate change, by and large, takes the blame. Greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere trap heat ...
Now, a growing group of scientists and companies say they’ve found a way to increase that storage capacity by tweaking ocean water chemistry. The technique, known as ocean alkalinity enhancement ...
Greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere trap heat, and about 90% of the excess heat caused by emissions from burning fossil fuels and other human activities is absorbed by the ocean. But while ...
