An ocean of molecules - EurekAlert
The geochemist Thorsten Dittmar and his team at the University of Oldenburg, Germany, use sophisticated methods to analyse millions of different organic compounds that are dissolved in the world’s oceans. These substances bind large amounts of carbon – in some cases for thousands of years. Using a combination of expertise from the fields of geochemistry, microbiology and mathematical modelling, the researchers aim to determine what role these substances play in the global carbon cycle and, by extension, the global climate.
