For relevance, the dissolved organic carbon (DOC) content of the ocean is roughly the same size as the CO2 in the entire atmosphere. A redistribution of the carbon in this huge oceanic pool (either back to the atmosphere or increased storage in the deep sea), would alter greenhouse warming through a global redistribution of CO2. As you may suspect, the complexity of the organic carbon cycle in the deep ocean requires a great deal of diverse expertise to collect the data required to make headway for new understanding of processes that explain observed DOC distributions. We have been "living together" now for more than a week... I thought it might be nice to meet some of the others on the cruise. This is not everyone, just those I got a good picture of... maybe later they can tell what they are working on but now it's 3:30am and I am out of here. Let the ship rock me to sleep.... zzzz.
