Nitrogen and iron fertilization in the oceans: potential means to sequester CO2 from the atmosphere [1]

The breadth and complexity of the global ocean, covering more than 70 percent of Earth's surface, have challenged our ability to explore, comprehend, predict and even control its processes and behavior. It is now generally accepted that the world oceans are by far the largest sink of anthropogenic CO2 one the dominant cause of global warming on our planet.
