Peter Thomson Plymouth Marine Lab AGU (American Geophysical Union) Scripps Institution of Oceanography UN DESA Sustainable Development Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) @co2ley Ocean Conservancy 🎙In his presentation, Tom Bell (Plymouth Marine Lab) explains: "the rapid growth w/i the ocean CDR sector is driving a strong need for a monitoring, reporting and verification framework to assess the efficacy of different OCDR techniques", which will require support & funding

He also stressed the need for a methodology to understand the actual impact of these methods on capturing carbon.


Many thanks to our speakers Peter Thomson @co2ley Tom Bell Lisa Ann Levin Kilaparti Ramakrishna @LisaGraumich Joanna Post & Dr Vladimir Ryabinin for their interventions & to our partners Plymouth Marine Lab AGU (American Geophysical Union) Scripps Institution of Oceanography UC San Diego Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) for this wonderful event!

Scientists from The University of Manchester and National Centre for Atmospheric Science used the FAAM Airborne Laboratory to detect gas-phase urea in the atmosphere above the North Atlantic for the first time. These findings change our understanding of ocean-atmosphere interactions and... faam.ac.uk/gas-phase-urea…



We can’t have ocean CDR without MRV, and we can’t have MRV without background measurements of surface ocean CO₂. SOCAT is the only public surface ocean CO₂ database and it needs funding. Ocean CDR folks, reach out to Dorothee Bakker to help. 💶

The UK has lost its clear global leadership position on climate action. It is no longer COP President, and no longer a member of the EU negotiating bloc. It invests in new coal and supports new oil/gas. Progress in tackling climate change is slow More here theccc.org.uk/publication/20…

"If we'd said it was terribly expensive to build railways, we'd have got stuck with the canals." Lord Deben, Climate Change Committee chair, tells alex thomson we need to embrace the "exciting change" of green energy which will provide jobs and protect people from climate change.

For UK applicants looking for a PhD studentship: here is a funded PhD opportunity to explore feedbacks between the ocean carbon cycle and climate that are mediated by marine ecosystems, starting in Oct 2023 or Feb 2024 UEA School of Environmental Sciences uea.ac.uk/course/phd-doc…



Big news! We've launched the new website for the #WesternChannelObservatory, it's now easier than ever to utilise the open-access data from the longest marine dataset in the world. Check out the new site: westernchannelobservatory.org.uk The #WCO is a partnership between PML & MBA - Marine Biological Association.
