Being born in a less privileged country often feels like serving a sentence for a crime you never committed. No matter who you are, you are constantly asked to prove that you deserve the opportunities, trust, and consideration that others are given by default.

By comparing CaCO₃ production, shallow export, and burial, we show each group follows a unique pathway. Future climate impacts will be group-specific, yet current models cannot capture this diversity.

We compare functional traits of the three major calcifying groups, coccolithophores, foraminifera, and pteropods, and evaluate how these traits shape their roles in carbon and alkalinity cycles, and sensitivities to climate change and ocean acidification.

We then collect the live plankton and try to keep them alive long enough to get to the lab. There we can look at how they respond to different conditions in a controlled setting. (And if you know @chalkyoceans.bsky.social, you know there will be boron involved).

Olivier Sulpis, marine biogeochemist at CNRS. In the ERC Deep-C project, I combine experiments under crushing pressure with mechanistic models to investigate the fate of calcium carbonate in the ocean, from the dissolution of shells in the deep to the role of sediments as long-term carbon sinks.
