WorldPingWhen scientists discovered that increasing the ocean's natural alkalinity could enhance seawater's capacity to absorb and store carbon dioxide (CO₂), the idea quickly gained attention as a potential geoengineering solution to climate change.
Research findings and mission results set the evidence base that policy, funding and later discoveries build on.
