- There is little known about how bubble lifetime varies with different types and concentrations of surfactants and how they are affected by turbulent mixing in the surface ocean (Crook et al. 2016).
- Could a system be developed to integrate microbubble technology for fuel efficiency with that for albedo modification on to existing ships (Crook et al. 2016)?
