Media cover UMaine researchers’ study of phytoplankton carbon cycling
The Penobscot Bay Pilot and The Penobscot Times shared a University of Maine news release highlighting a study of phytoplankton’s role in carbon cycling in the North Atlantic. University of Maine School of Marine Sciences faculty Emmanuel Boss, Lee Karp-Boss and Margaret Estapa, and UMaine research associate Sean O’Neill are part of a research expedition seeking to quantify carbon fixing and carbon export to the deep ocean by phytoplankton during the annual bloom in the Porcupine Abyssal Plain. The Bangor Daily News also reported on the voyage.
