It has already absorbed nearly one-third of the carbon emissions from human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels.<\/p>\n<p>But many researchers think the ocean can shoulder even more of the burden, with technologies that would enhance its natural ability to suck carbon from the air and store it for centuries. But to better understand how such strategies might change the ocean\u2014or whether they would even work\u2014funders will need to pour as much as $2.5 billion into research over the next decade, a U.S. panel of leading ocean scientists recommended today.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Related:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nap.edu\/catalog\/26278\/a-research-strategy-for-ocean-based-carbon-dioxide-removal-and-sequestration\"><strong>A Research Strategy for Ocean-based Carbon Dioxide Removal and Sequestration<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nUS National Academy of Sciences 360 pages.
