Coccolithophores —unicellular, eukaryotic phytoplankton (algae)—have been increasing in relative abundance in the North Atlantic over the last 45 years, as carbon input into ocean waters has increased. The CPR survey was launched by British marine biologist Sir Alister Hardy in the early 1930s.

Variations in atmosphere carbon dioxide around 40 million years ago were tightly coupled to changes in global temperature, according to new findings published in the journal Science. Algae use photosynthesis to harvest the energy of the sun, converting carbon dioxide and water into the organic molecules required for growth.

A new study based on deep-sea sediment cores, published in the journal Nature , has found that during the Miocene period ~12–5 million years ago, climate was decoupled from atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations. The cores were retrieved by marine scientists working aboard the drillship JOIDES Resolution. —LaRiviere et al.
