Deep Sea Carbon Leak Rewrites the Rules | Science News
Scientists just uncovered a game-changing twist in the deep sea: marine snow particles are leaking massive amounts of carbon and nitrogen as they sink, thanks to crushing ocean pressure. This means less carbon is being locked away on the ocean floor—and more is lingering in deep waters, reshaping how we understand Earth’s carbon cycle. Lab experiments showed up to half the carbon in these particles can escape, fueling explosive microbial growth. Now, researchers are heading to the Arctic to confirm this process happens in nature—and could be rewriting climate models. Listen in comfort:Get a…
