A new study from Dr. Manu Prakash at Stanford University changes our understanding of how effective our oceans are at sequestrating carbon dioxide. Dr. Manu Prakash’s lab invented a rotating microscope, so they can study how fast microorganisms that remove carbon dioxide are falling to the ocean floor. They discovered never before seen mucus “parachutes” on these organisms, delaying how much carbon dioxide is absorbed out of Earth’s atmosphere. This new information will aid in making climate change predictions more accurate. Dr. Manu Prakash has been a part of the science faculty on OceanX’s Young Explorers Program and this research has been supported by Dalio Philanthropies. https://lnkd.in/gxE93iHG
