Led by: Matthew Church (University of Montana)Subtropical ocean gyres—large, circular currents propelled by wind and the Earth’s rotation—are some of the biggest ecosystems on Earth. Algal production in these gyres consumes significant amounts of carbon dioxide, and sinking of these algal cells moves large quantities of carbon
