NOCS: Expedition to Investigate Carbon in the Benguela Upwelling

On May 2018 the Royal Research Ship (RRS) Discovery will begin an ambitious science expedition to the South Atlantic to study the role of low oxygen zones in ocean carbon storage. The results of this investigation will help improve understanding of how the ocean’s biology contributes to the long-term storage of carbon in the ocean.The National Oceanography Center (NOC) will lead this expedition to the Benguela upwelling region of the South Atlantic…
