WHOI Oceanus Series on Ocean Iron Fertilization

Part 1. Fertilizing the Ocean with Iron: Should we add iron to the sea to help reduce greenhouse gases in the air?

Part 2. Will Ocean Iron Fertilization Work? Getting carbon into the ocean is one thing. Keeping it there is another.

Part 3. What Are the Possible Side Effects? The uncertainties and unintended consequences of manipulating ecosystems

Part 4. Lessons from Nature, Models, and the Past: Other lines of evidence inform the debate on ocean iron fertilization

Part 5. Dumping Iron and Trading Carbon: Profits, pollution, and politics all will play roles in ocean iron fertilization

Part 6. Proposals Emerge to Transfer Excess Carbon into the Ocean: Increasing urgency about climate change has spurred schemes that may seem radical
