Stanford’s Gravity Machine Uncovers Mucus “Parachutes” – Hidden Biological Process Slowing Climate Change

Stanford researchers have discovered that microscopic marine organisms produce mucus “parachutes” that slow their descent, impacting how effectively oceans sequester carbon. This finding, which contradicts previous assumptions about ocean carbon sinks, suggests that models of carbon sequestration might need revising. New Insights Into Ocean Carbon Sequestration New Stanford-led research reveals a hidden factor that could [...]
