The MINORG project investigates how organic carbon is preserved in ocean sediments and seawater. By exploring the interaction between organic carbon and minerals, it aims to enhance our understanding of carbon storage and its implications for climate change.
The oceanic carbon cycle is key for regulating the Earth system because, in sediments and seawater, the balance between the degradation and preservation of organic carbon (OC) exerts a first order control on atmospheric CO2 and O2.
In sediments, OC is preserved over millions of years, while in seawater, a dissolved form of recalcitrant OC has been recently recognised as critical to OC storage over anthropogenic timescales.
Both sedimentary and seawater OC are derived from living organisms, and s…
