Short summary

The ocean plays an important role in regulating the Earth's climate by storing excess atmospheric carbon in its interior mainly through the sinking of small organic particles originating from planktonic organisms. Once produced these particles are constantly being transformed (sticking together, breaking into smaller pieces and being consumed by microbes). Here, we try to understand the dynamics of these processes by testing a variety of factors, such as stickiness and water column mixing.
