WorldPingA process known as the biological carbon pump (BCP) moves organic carbon from near the ocean's surface to the ocean floor.
That carbon often stays there for hundreds or thousands of years, making the BCP a primary source of carbon sequestration in the oceans.
Research findings and mission results set the evidence base that policy, funding and later discoveries build on.
