Synopsis

This book presents a comprehensive report on the Department of Energy (DOE) Ocean Margins Program (OMP) - a multidisciplinary study of the role of ocean margins in the cycling and storage of carbon. The OMP seeks to determine the significance of organic carbon storage in the sediments and ocean waters off the Atlantic continental shelf and slope, and to quantify the eflux of organic carbon to the interior ocean. Drawing from the research of over 70 scientists, the book includes extensive data from field experiments and modelling studies, and discussions of cutting -edge analytical techniques used to measure carbon dynamics in marine systems. The OMP represents a major contribution to our understanding of the role of the oceans in the global carbon cycle and provides key insights into the potential of coastal ecosystems to mitigate atmospheric CO2 levels in the present era of environmental change.
