Marine Conservation Society and Rewilding Britain (2021): Blue carbon. Ocean-based solutions to fight the climate crisis
Marine Conservation Society and Rewilding Britain (2021): Blue carbon. Ocean-based solutions to fight the climate crisis.
„We are calling on the UK Government and devolved administrations to act with urgency to invest in, co-develop and implement a four-nation Blue Carbon Strategy.“
Call for Proposals (Panels and Presentations): 1st Annual Conference on Carbon Removal Law and Policy
Deadline: 18. June 2021
„The focus of the conference will be on law and policy issues associated with ocean carbon removal approaches, including, but not limited to the following issues:
Governance of ocean-based carbon dioxide removal approaches at national and sub-national scales, as well as the role of international treaty regimes and principles of customary international law;
The role and application of principles of equity and social justice in ocean-based carbon dioxide removal research and deployment;
Methodologies for, and challenges in, constructing effective architectures for public engagement on ocean-based carbon dioxide removal approaches.“
CNN: This startup grows kelp then sinks it to pull carbon from the air
„One Maine-based startup, Running Tide Technologies, is experimenting with farming kelp, a type of seaweed, in an effort to pull carbon from the air and store it deep beneath the ocean floor, potentially giving the world another nature-based tool to curb climate change.“
Tyka, Michael; et al. (2021): CO2 capture by pumping surface acidity to the deep ocean
Tyka, Michael; Platt, John; van Arsdale, Christopher (2021): CO2 capture by pumping surface acidity to the deep ocean. Preprint. DOI: 10.31223/X5TK60.
„Here we present a method which relies purely on the redistribution and dilution of acidity from a thin layer of the surface ocean to a thicker layer of deep ocean, with the aim of reducing surface acidification and accelerating the former carbonate homeostasis.“
Yuan, Peng; Liu, Dong (2021): Proposing a potential strategy concerning Mineral-enhanced Biological Pump (MeBP) for improving Ocean Iron Fertilization (OIF)
Yuan, Peng; Liu, Dong (2021): Proposing a potential strategy concerning Mineral-enhanced Biological Pump (MeBP) for improving Ocean Iron Fertilization (OIF). In Applied Clay Science 207, p. 106096. DOI: 10.1016/j.clay.2021.106096.
„To address the low efficiency of the vertical C export of OIF, a potential strategy for enhancing oceanic biological pump using clay minerals, so-called mineral-enhanced biological pump (MeBP), is proposed herein.“
Ocean Visions: Ocean Visions’ Experts to Advise/Evaluate Innovation Tackling Ocean Acidification
„Pilot project will develop new electrochemical approach to mitigate ocean acidification and enhance ocean-based carbon sequestration.“
Terhaar, Jens, et al. (2021): Southern Ocean anthropogenic carbon sink constrained by sea surface salinity
Terhaar, Jens; Frölicher, Thomas L.; Joos, Fortunat (2021): Southern Ocean anthropogenic carbon sink constrained by sea surface salinity. In Science Advances 7 (18). DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abd5964.
„We identify a tight relationship across two multimodel ensembles between present-day sea surface salinity in the subtropical-polar frontal zone and the anthropogenic carbon sink in the Southern Ocean.“
EurekAlert!: Uncertainty of future Southern Ocean CO2 uptake cut in half
„Together with Thomas Frölicher and Fortunat Joos, who are also researchers at the Oeschger Centre, Terhaar has just presented in the scientific journal „Sciences Advances“ a new method for constraining the Southern Ocean’s CO2 sink.“
