‘Ocean-in-a-lab’ shows the power of tiny climate change fighters – Inverse

The ocean is incomprehensibly vast
, spanning most of the planet. To examine the effect of the five ocean basins on the climate, however, researchers had to shrink the seas allowing for the study of some of the tiniest climate change fighters, microbes.
Scientists from the University of California, San Diego created an “ocean-in-a lab” to replicate and experiment with the ocean’s conditions, including studying the ocean’s microbial communities and how they affect sea spray.
Sea spray is cru…
