"The Southern Ocean, most people would argue, is the world's most important carbon sink." However, its carbon uptake had fluctuated over the past 30 years and no one was quite sure why, Turnbull said.

Historically, the Southern Ocean—the frigid waters surrounding Antarctica—has been considered a major sink for carbon dioxide ...

The new findings reveal that Antarctic krill store amounts of carbon that are comparable to critical blue carbon habitats ...

The ocean absorbs about a quarter of carbon emitted by human activities, but rainfall is responsible for about 6% of the ...

Both findings are potentially good news for the ocean carbon-sink, but they also leave important questions. The Southern Ocean was a carbon source in pre-industrial times, but has since been ...

Anna Turns sets sail from Plymouth Sound to explore the significance of blue carbon in marine habitats around the UK.

For the first time, we used a computer model of ocean currents to show that krill waste products don’t need to reach great ...

The ocean plays an important role in the global carbon cycle by absorbing about one-quarter of the carbon emitted by human activities every year. A ...

Small marine crustaceans are as valuable as key coastal habitats for storing carbon and should be similarly protected, ...

They might be small, but they're certainly mighty: krill play a major role in carbon sequestering in oceans across the world.

Small marine crustaceans are as valuable as key coastal habitats for storing carbon and should be similarly protected, according to new research.The ...

Small marine crustaceans are as valuable as key coastal habitats for storing carbon and should be similarly protected, according to new research.
