Auf der Suche nach fehlendem Kohlenstoff in der Tiefsee Eine Schiffsexpedition im Nordatlantik ist die nächste Etappe unseres Rudolphina-Roadtrips. Wir begleiten Gerhard Herndl, der mit seinem Team eines der großen Rätsel des Kohlenstoffkreislaufs der Tiefsee entschlüsseln möchte: Woher stammt der Kohlenstoff, der das Leben tausende Meter unter der Meeresoberfläche speist?
