Ballasting by cryogenic gypsum enhances carbon export in a Phaeocystis under-ice bloom

Abstract Mineral ballasting enhances carbon export from the surface to the deep ocean; however, little is known about the role of this process in the ice-covered Arctic Ocean. Here, we propose gypsum ballasting as a new mechanism that likely facilitated enhanced vertical carbon export from an under-...
