  abstract = {{A} recent paradigm explains that the downward pumping of biogenic carbon in the ocean is performed by the combined action of six different biological carbon pumps ({BCP}s): the biological gravitational pump, the physically driven pumps ({M}ixed {L}ayer {P}ump, {E}ddy {S}ubduction {P}ump and {L}arge-scale {S}ubduction {P}ump), and the animal-driven pumps (diurnal and seasonal vertical migrations of zooplankton and larger animals). {H}ere, we propose a research community approach to implement the new paradigm through the integrated study of these {BCP}s in the {W}orld {O}cean. {T}he framework to investigate the {BCP}s combines measurements from different observational platforms, i.e., oceanographic ships, satellites, moorings, and robots (gliders, floats, and robotic surface vehicles such as wavegliders and saildrones). {W}e describe the following aspects of the proposed research framework: variables and processes to be measured in both the euphotic and twilight zones for the different {BCP}s; spatial and temporal scales of occurrence of the various {BCP}s; selection of key regions for integrated studies of the {BCP}s; multi-platform observational strategies; and upscaling of results from regional observations to the global ocean using deterministic models combined with data assimilation and machine learning to make the most of the wealth of unique measurements. {T}he proposed approach has the potential not only to bring together a large multidisciplinary community of researchers, but also to usher the community toward a new era of discoveries in ocean sciences.},
