The respiration of exported carbon in midwater is a major way that the biological pump stores carbon in the ocean

Lewis - you seem well acquainted with Norway. Might be worth do doing a bit on Bankid and how useful it is for everything here.

Ultimately the Biological Pump depends on the individual interactions of myriad species with the local environment & with each other. Here Sari Giering & others describe the detailed dynamics that drive flux as a large Southern Ocean Bloom declines.

Species‐specific diatom dynamics shape their vertical distribution and export during bloom decline

The Southern Ocean is a critical region for global biogeochemical cycles, particularly for carbon dioxide uptake and organic carbon export, partly driven by extensive phytoplankton blooms. In natural...

This looks like a pretty importamt paper for people modelling calcifiers www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Global carbonate chemistry gradients reveal a negative feedback on ocean alkalinity enhancement - Nature Geoscience

Intensive ocean alkalinity enhancement will cause a proliferation of calcifying organisms, which reduces its effectiveness as a carbon sequestration approach, according to an analysis of coccolithopho...

We all know the biological pump is interesting, beautiful & valuable, but how important is it in the Earth System? & what role (if any) does it play in ocean Canth uptake? These are just 2 of the Qs explored in this new @oceanicu.bsky.social‬ paper 🌊

Within @icos-ri.eu we are thinking through what our strategy in this key area should be - fluxes to the atmosphere and burial are key terms we can manage if we have good long term datasets to detect change. RIs are ideally configured to produce and steward this information for commjnity usage

The Land Ocean Aquatic Continuum (LOAC) is a really important part of the Earth System for carbon cycling.

🌊The EuroGO-SHIP project has reached a critical point. All the work gathering user views, requirements and perspectives comes together to make a statement of requirements which we need to figure out how to integrate into the RI landscape. We're starting with a 2 day workshop at the top of Ulriken.

Recently I took some time out to discuss the COP with Toste Tanhua from @geomarkiel.bsky.social. Its a big important event but what does it actually do, and how does it work? I'm not sure if we answered those queries but we had fun trying - what do you think?
