Researchers Study the Fast Gulf Stream Currents
Scientists from the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) recently joined a five-day research expedition to study the role of the Gulf Stream in a critical component of the global carbon cycle.The Gulf Stream is thought to play an integral role in the oceanic carbon cycle, delivering high-nutrient, low-anthropogenic (human derived) carbon waters to the North Atlantic subpolar gyre where they sustain biological carbon drawdown and enable the uptake of large quantities of CO2 from the atmosphere.However, many unknowns remain regarding how these deep waters reach the surface, and their effect on carbon

NOC Expedition Seeks Answers on Subsea Mining Impacts
a safer, more sustainable way to extract these metals to protect the abyssal ecosystem. The nature of these areas is largely unknown, including its capacity to cope with and recover from wider extraction projects.Dr. Daniel Jones, Associate Head of the Ocean BioGeosciences group at the National Oceanography Centre, said: “Removing metal from the sea floor leads to a change in the structure of the seabed, its shape, and the nature of the sediments within. Understanding the impacts of extraction on these areas as well as the recovery of the environment is a critical part of SMARTEX. The way
