A vision is needed for development of the world’s first international climate observatory that would record carbon and heat fluxes from the seafloor to the atmosphere. This initiative would require leading nations to communicate, pool, and coordinate their already substantial investments in observing infrastructure, and their expertise in the areas of science, policy, and innovation, to create information streams that would benefit all participants involved, along with the rest of the world.
