Dark oxygen refers to oxygen produced at extreme ocean depths without the involvement of photosynthesis. This process occurs on the deep ocean floor, where light cannot penetrate. In 2024 ...

Under the sea ice during the Arctic’s pitch-black polar night, cells power photosynthesis on the lowest light levels ever ...

What would happen if a 500-meter asteroid hit Earth? Scientists at the IBS Center for Climate Physics modeled the aftermath, ...

Certain metallic rocks seem to be making oxygen in the dark, without light or sunshine, at the bottom of the ocean.

Deep beneath the ocean's surface, in the pitch-black abyss, scientists have uncovered a fascinating phenomenon: "dark oxygen.

(C) In the coastal ocean, photosynthesis, decomposition and re-exchanging of CO2 with the atmosphere still continue. Solid organic carbon (e.g., soil particles, phytoplankton cells) is buried in ...

While a single plant is capable of fixing inorganic carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air, the entire ecosystem surrounding the ...

microscopic marine algae known as phytoplankton also feed on CO2 and use photosynthesis to produce energy. Seagrasses and phytoplankton near the ocean’s surface form the base of the aquatic food ...

Deoxygenation occurs when oxygen consumption (e.g. from respiration, or breathing) is greater than oxygen replenishment through photosynthesis, ventilation, mixing. Oxygen has two main ways of ...

The startup’s ‘AI-optimized CDR’ approach is designed to re-create the optimal conditions for phytoplankton to play their ...
