Giant icebergs play key role in removing carbon dioxide from atmosphere

ScienceDaily: Pioneering research from the University of Sheffield's Department of Geography discovered melting water from giant icebergs, which contains iron and other nutrients, supports hitherto unexpectedly high levels of phytoplankton growth.
