An investigation of basin-scale controls on upper ocean export and remineralization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
The biological carbon pump (BCP) helps to moderate atmospheric carbon dioxide levels by bringing carbon to the deep ocean, where it can be sequestered on timescales of centuries to millennia. Climate change is predicted ...
Carbon and mineral transformations in seafloor serpentinization systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
This thesis examines abiotic processes controlling the transformation and distribution of carbon compounds in seafloor hydrothermal systems hosted in ultramafic rock. These processes have a direct impact on carbon budgets ...
