CAPTURE investigates the Biological Carbon Pump's mechanisms in the Southern Ocean, focusing on how carbon is transferred from the surface to the deep ocean. The project aims to improve understanding of carbon export processes and their implications for climate change.
The Biological Carbon Pump (BCP) transfers atmospheric CO2, fixed by phytoplankton in the sun-lit upper ocean, as particulate organic carbon to the deep ocean.
The BCP plays a key role in Earth’s climate by removing 10 Pg of carbon from surface waters each year, with the Southern Ocean (SO) pump representing 33% of the global BCP.
Carbon export from the BCP has long been solely attributed to the gravitational sinking of large particles following the spring phytoplankton bloom.
