Pumping Iron: How Dust Can Change the Climate
About the game
Dust forms when tiny, fine particles of rock are lofted into the air by winds. When nutrient-rich dust settles into the ocean, it stimulates phytoplankton growth, which leads to the drawdown of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. This has a cooling effect on the climate.
In this station-based game, players collect nutrients that phytoplankton need to live as they follow dust moving throughout the Earth system - the player with the most nutrients wins!
