The recent paper by Dr Daniel Jones and Mario Lebrato called "Mass deposition event of Pyrosoma atlanticum carcasses off Ivory Coast (West Africa)" which was recently featured in the prestigeous publication Limnology and Oceanography is the subject of an article in both the web and print editions of the Economist.
From the Economist article "IN 2006 Mario Lebrato and Daniel Jones of the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton, England, were using a remotely operated deep-sea vehicle to study the sea floor near an oil pipeline off Côte d’Ivoire. What they found surprised them. It was a thaliacean graveyard. And its discovery throws into question the received wisdom about one important aspect of climate change, namely how much carbon from the atmosphere ends up at the bottom of the sea."
