Each year, vast blooms of phytoplankton spread across the Southern Ocean, drawing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and ...
Researchers have consistently tracked a recurring bloom near Antarctica that reliably appears each summer, yet varies ...
Each summer, the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica turns a brighter shade of green. Vast blooms of phytoplankton ...
Microscopic ocean algae produce a huge share of Earth’s oxygen—but they need iron to do it. New field research shows that when iron is scarce, phytoplankton waste energy and photosynthesis falters.
Phytoplankton grow constantly and just about anywhere there are open, sunlit patches of ocean. When conditions are right, the growth of these microscopic cells can blossom to scales that are visible ...
Gigablue’s ‘AI-optimized CDR’ approach is designed to re-create the optimal conditions for phytoplankton to play their part in oceanic carbon sequestration, with a goal to sequester 1Gt of CO₂ ...
