DOI: 10.1029/2018jg004392
Abstract: A fraction of organic carbon produced in the oceans by phytoplankton sinks storing 5–15 gigatonnes of carbon annually in the ocean interior. The accepted paradigm is that rapid aggregation of phytoplankton cells occurs, forming large,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2019pa003578
Abstract: Decades of observations show that the world's oceans have been losing oxygen, with far‐reaching consequences for ecosystems and biogeochemical cycling. To reconstruct oxygenation beyond the limited scope of instrumental records, proxy records are needed, such… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/bg-2017-216
Abstract: Coccolithophores are calcifying phytoplankton and major contributors to both the organic and inorganic oceanic carbon pumps. Their export fluxes, species composition and seasonal patterns were determined in two sediment trap moorings in the open equatorial… read more here.
