The first global digital map of the ocean floor sediments (shown above) shows we have little clue about how the world’s biggest carbon sink works. About half the carbon emitted into the atmosphere by ...

When bottom trawls are dragged across the seafloor, they stir up sediments. This not only releases previously stored organic carbon, but also intensifies the oxidation of pyrite, a mineral present in ...
