🌊Inspiring the next generation of ocean scientists! The Mystery of Respiration in the Dark Ocean, developed by the MicroRespire project team, introduces children to the hidden world of ocean respiration: kids.frontiersin.org/articles/10.... @carolrobinson8.bsky.social @scor-int.bsky.social

The Mystery of Respiration in the Dark Ocean

More than three-quarters of the Earth is covered by the ocean, home to millions of sea creatures. Tiny plants in the surface ocean use energy from the sun to grow, producing the oxygen we breathe. Whe...

A new dataset on the ocean’s role storing carbon has just been released! Published on Zenodo, the finalised GLOBESINK flux and particle size climatology offers a global, observation-based view of how sinking particles move carbon from surface waters to the deep ocean. 🌊 zenodo.org/records/1955...

🔔BIO-Carbon funding opportunity Q&A🔔 For anyone who is interested in applying to the open calls for funding within the BIO-Carbon programme, please dial in! 🖥️ Virtual drop-in session 🕑 2pm 23 April 🔗 bio-carbon.ac.uk/news/bio-car... ❕Notifications of Intent due 4pm 8 May; Application due 14 July

Don't miss out on your chance to apply for these new funding opportunities 🌊 No previous activity with BIO-Carbon is needed. BIO-Carbon is linked with the #NASA #EXPORTS project, so UK-US collaborations are encouraged! 👇 Find out more 👇 bio-carbon.ac.uk/news/bio-car... 📸Jared Wood on Unsplash

International scientists gathered at the University of Strathclyde in March for a major international workshop led by the NERC BIO-Carbon programme. The event brought together 103 participants and around 70 online attendees, spanning modelling, observational, and experimental research communities!

Meet coccolithophores, tiny organisms shaping our climate by capturing CO2 and building ocean ecosystems. They've worked for millions of years unrecognised. They've earned their day. We're supporting a new bid to make #CoccolithophoreDay 10th Oct! #InvisibleHeroes #OceanGuardians #ClimateWarriors

New research confirms mysterious blue particles from the deep sea are fish pellets, and they have a previously unrecognised role in ocean chemistry and the carbon cycle! 🐟💨💎 Read here: bio-carbon.ac.uk/news/fish-re...

🪼New paper on plankton powerhouses💪 Bringing plankton to the forefront of science, policy & awareness. “New paper explains why their influence is much greater still, helping & influencing humanity in so many ways.” Prof Alex Poulton @heriotwattuni.bsky.social bio-carbon.ac.uk/news/immeasu...

🚨 Announcement 🚨 NERC have just released pre-announcements for the final round of BIO-Carbon funding, to open in spring 2026. bio-carbon.ac.uk/news/joint-n...
