About the Talk

How can microscopic algae influence Earth's climate? Dive into the hidden world of diatoms, the ocean's biological carbon pump, and the surprising science behind one of climate science's strangest questions: could adding iron to the ocean trigger an Ice Age? Explore how tiny organisms move carbon from the atmosphere into the deep sea — and how scientists use the ocean to understand Earth's climate past and future.
