Unlocking the Secrets of Coccolithophore Carbon: Scientists Take to the Field
In a groundbreaking new study, scientists from the University of Cambridge have discovered a way to use coccolithophores to store carbon. Coccolithophores are a type of phytoplankton, which are microscopic single-celled organisms found in the world’s oceans. The scientists discovered that these tiny organisms could be used to store large amounts of carbon in their shells, acting as a natural carbon sink. This exciting development could provide us with a powerful tool to help mitigate the effects of climate change.
