Oxygen is like money for Earth, and the ocean acts like a bank. Oxygen is tightly connected to life in the ocean, and can tell us a lot about an ecosystem’s health and productivity. WHOI scientists are exploring means to create an ocean oxygen budget, which has been difficult until now.

A study from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution shows that the efficiency of the ocean’s “biological carbon pump” has been drastically underestimated. Marine chemist Ken Buesseler and colleagues consider a new metric for estimating the depth of the ocean's sunlit layer, thus its ability to take up carbon.

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution biologist Aran Mooney and Casey Zakroff, a graduate student in the MIT-WHOI Joint Program, describe their study on how ocean acidification is affecting squid, a key species in the marine food web and a multi-million dollar fishery. October 2014.
