Artificial upwelling involves transporting nutrient-rich deep ocean water to the sea surface by pumping it or through other artificial methods. The idea is that this will result in increased phytoplankton growth which will absorb more atmospheric carbon dioxide. The absorbed carbon will then be stored long-term when the dead phytoplankton biomass sinks to the ocean floor.
