…to be discussed at the EGU conference (Vienna, Austria & Online, 23–27 May 2022). „As part of the CDR Model Intercomparison Project (CDRMIP), we utilize here the land-ocean-atmosphere coupled FOCI-MOPS model to study the potential reversibility and impacts of different proposed CDR methods. FOCI-MOP is an integration of the marine biogeochemical model, Model of Oceanic Pelagic Stoichiometry (MOPS), in the Flexible Ocean and Climate Infrastructure (FOCI) ESM. Two CDR methods are studied under highly-idealized scenarios: a marine-based CDR of ocean alkalinity enhancement, and a land-based CDR of afforestation and reforestation, given their large theoretical mitigation potentials.“
