For the first time, as part of an international collaboration, a research team from the Laboratoire d'Océanographie de Villefranche sur Mer (LOV, Sorbonne University/CNRS) has collected a huge dataset on zooplankton acquired by underwater cameras at the global scale. Our colleague Francois Carlotti (MIO-EMBIO) participated in this study. His analysis allowed to model the composition and the oceanic biomass of zooplankton. The estimates show maximum biomass values in the equatorial, temperate and polar productive zones, and minimum values in the oceanic deserts.

APERO Program (Assessing marine biogenic matter Production, Export and Remineralization: from the surface to the dark Ocean, PI: L. Memery, C. Tamburini, L. Guidi)

Xavier Mari is a research director in marine biogeochemistry at MIO-CEM, currently assigned to Vietnam. He conducts research to determine the fluxes and effects of combustion aerosols during their life cycle, from their emission to their burial in marine sediments.

Arctic biota contain higher mercury levels than elsewhere. The Arctic Ocean is key to understand the drivers because bioaccumulating neurotoxin methylmercury is formed from inorganic mercury within the ocean itself. Based on the recent Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (www.amap.no) and new observations, we revise the mercury budget in the Arctic Ocean1.
