Roger François's pioneering research on particle and sediment fluxes in the ocean using stable and radioactive nuclides has provided fresh insights into algal production and nutrient recycling as well as the rates of the ocean's overturning circulation in the past, opening new windows on the evolution of Earth's global carbon system.
