Ancient deep ocean rocks shown to be long-term carbon storage reservoirs
London, UK (SPX) Nov 25, 2025
Rock samples collected from beneath the Atlantic Ocean reveal that lava rubble accumulating on the seafloor can store carbon dioxide for tens of millions of years. Research led by the University of Southampton involved analyzing lava cores extracted during the International Ocean Discovery Program's Expedition 390/393. The study focused on breccias, rocks created from eroded seafloor mountains a
