Postdoctoral Fellowship: OCE-PRF: It's the Little Things that Count: Episodic Contribution — NSF Award to Woods Hole Oceanographic
The Southern Ocean plays a large role in the uptake of carbon from the atmosphere, buffering increased anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. This is possible in part by the growth of phytoplankton, which consume carbon dioxide as they photosynthesize at the surface of the ocean. Surface phytoplankton can be subducted

| Abstract | The Southern Ocean plays a large role in the uptake of carbon from the atmosphere, buffering increased anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. This is possible in part by the growth of phytoplankton, which consume carbon dioxide as they photosynthesize at the surface of the ocean. Surface phytoplankton can be subducted into the depths of the ocean through physical ocean movements, storing their carbon away from the atmosphere. Physical ocean processes that allow phytoplankton to grow and physica |
