The PML-CBIOMES team led by Shubha Sathyendranath is actively engaged in developing new and improved products to extract increased detail from satellite color data. In a recent paper, they turn their attention to primary production in the Arctic. Continue reading “Longer Season with Phytoplankton Growth in a Warming Arctic?”

Phytoplankton: Shedding light on the ocean’s living carbon pump
Phytoplankton play a crucial role in ocean biology and climate. Understanding the natural processes that influence phytoplankton primary production, and how they are changing as the planet warms, is vital. A new study from the PML CBIOMES GROUP using data from the European Space Agency’s Climate Change Initiative, has produced a 20-year time-series of global primary production in the oceans—shedding new light on the ocean’s living carbon pump. Continue reading “Phytoplankton: Shedding light on the ocean’s living carbon pump”
