This paper begins with a review of the history of remote sensing algorithms for the
determination of particulate inorganic carbon (PIC; aka calcium carbonate), primarily …

A long-term increase in coccolith size over the Pleistocene has long been discovered in
global oceans. Such a long-term and evolutionary change is expected to exert substantial …

Southern Ocean waters are projected to undergo profound changes in their physical and
chemical properties in the coming decades. Coccolithophore blooms in the Southern Ocean …

Biological processes in Southern Ocean surface waters have widespread impacts on global
productivity and oceanic CO 2 storage. Here, we demonstrate that biological calcification in …

Abstract Changes in ocean alkalinity affect atmospheric pCO 2 (ie, higher alkalinity lowers
atmospheric pCO 2). Ocean alkalinity is partly determined by sedimentary burial of …

Ocean acidification is expected to have detrimental consequences for the most abundant
calcifying phytoplankton species Emiliania huxleyi. However, this assumption is mainly …

The cycling of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) plays a significant role in deep‐water carbon
sequestration and affects the buffer capacity of the upper ocean for absorbing atmospheric …

A quasi-tropical cyclone (QTC) observed over the Black Sea on 25–29 September 2005
caused an exceptionally strong anomalous autumn coccolithophore bloom that lasted for …

Coccolithophores are globally distributed microscopic marine algae that exert a major
influence on the global carbon cycle through calcification and primary productivity. There is …

Abstract The Southern Ocean is experiencing rapid and profound changes in its physical
and biogeochemical properties that may influence the distribution and composition of …
