Earth’s Oceans Are Turning Green. Here’s Why
Phytoplankton, the microscopic organisms foundational to the marine food web, are proliferating, causing the greener hue
The greening of oceans impacts the carbon cycle, as different types of plankton have varying abilities to absorb carbon dioxide
Satellites like NASA’s PACE, launched in February this year, will offer even finer colour resolution to help further investigate these ecological shifts
