Fragile guardians of the sea

In order for our oceans to maintain their ­alkalinity levels despite rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, the decaying shells of sea creatures play an important role. But how can we measure the effectiveness of this process in the vast expanse of the ocean? Explore the importance of simulation in understanding and managing the impact of human activities on the environment, and shed light on the fascinating role of decaying shells for the oceans (Image: Kristin Hoel via Unsplash / Comsol).
