Rainfall on the ocean’s surface is responsible for around 6% of the ocean’s uptake of carbon dioxide. Credit: Miguel Alcantara. The ocean plays an important role in the global carbon cycle by absorbing about one-quarter of the carbon emitted by human activities every year. A study published recently in Nature Geoscience and co-authored by a University of […]
