One of the key challenges we face in Ocean Carbon cycle research is quantifying the behavior of the Ocean carbon sink. This sink absorbs approximately 25% of the CO2 we emit to the atmosphere, slowing the rate of climate change. Its future evolution is therefore a matter of some concern, and a system is needed …
UNESCO Integrated Carbon Research Workshop OceanICU investigators had the opportunity to contribute to the conversation of defining key priorities in Ocean Carbon cycle research during the UNESCO Integrated Carbon Research workshop, hosted by the European Commission in Brussels this past May. This was a follow-up discussion to the 2019 meeting in Paris that led to …
On the 28th of February 2023, OceanICU team members from the 30 partner organisations making up the consortium gathered in Copenhagen, Denmark to discuss the opportunities and challenges of meeting the objectives of the OceanICU project. A series of presentations and workshops were held covering a variety of different disciplines, initial implementation plans were forged …
OceanICU celebrates World’s Ocean Day with the release of its first video. Check out Richard Sanders discussing the challenges and opportunities facing the OceanICU team undertaking this monumental research.
A four-hour virtual modelling workshop introducing the process-to-model alignment and implementation was held for the OceanICU partners focused on the biological global carbon (BGC) models being used for project work. The workshop was led by Iris Kriest of GeoMar as part of work package 6. Modelling presentations during slideshow
