Assessing the impact of the global subsea telecommunications network on sedimentary organic carbon stocks

Abstract The sequestration of organic carbon in seafloor sediments plays a key role in regulating global climate; however, human activities can disturb previously-sequestered carbon stocks, potentially reducing the capacity of the ocean to store CO2. Recent studies revealed profound seafloor impacts...
