The @emarineboard.bsky.social will bring out a new document on monitoring, reporting and verification on #mCDR - which will be launched on 17 November in a webinar! Check the EMB website to register. www.marineboard.eu

Ocean Acidification as one of the global climate indicators.
sheilaheymans.bsky.social
Third talk by Karol Kulinski from IOPAN talks about the Baltic Sea’s contribution to the global carbon budget - and the impact from Ocean Acidification.

The Marine Orfanic Carbon Atlas work done by IO-PAN !

The impact of climate change and changes in sea-ice on macrofaunal production.
sheilaheymans.bsky.social
Turning to the bentic part of the carbon cycle! And the role pf benthic organisms in storing carbon. Especially in the Arctic where climate change might decouple the benthic-pelagic coupling.
sheilaheymans.bsky.social
The key challenges in satellite estimations of primary production !
sheilaheymans.bsky.social
Primary production - diversity vs productivity. Types of primary producers affect the production.
sheilaheymans.bsky.social
The biodiversity and its influence on the carbon cycle.
sheilaheymans.bsky.social
The pelagic bentic coupling, and how that might influence carbon storage. Also in the Arctic. Also how bentic fauna impact this link.

Second speaker is Monika Kedra from IO PAN talks about how biological processes, pelagic-benthic coupling and biodiversity influence marine carbon sequestration. Talking about how primary production and the microbial loop impacts this.

With Nature based solutions high on the agenda we need to be clear as a scientific community about or definitions. Read more at the paper in the slide, but also note that the @emarineboard.bsky.social is bringing our a new document on the monitoring, reporting and verification needed for #mCDR!

Some of the MISS-reporting on carbon sequestration!
sheilaheymans.bsky.social
The definition of ocean sequestration rate! It is necessary but not sufficient for carbon sequestration!
sheilaheymans.bsky.social
Within the bounds of undertainty most of the carbon taken up in the ocean is due to physics ans chemistry. Biology does not contribute more than 1%.

The #Ocean carbon reservoirs! And the oceanic carbon pump. As well as the #MarineLife contributing to the carbon budgets of the Ocean.
sheilaheymans.bsky.social
First speaker is Andy Visser from #DTU_Aqua talking about the biological carbon pump #BCP! Talking about what carbon sequestration is!

This week the @emarineboard.bsky.social is having its Board meetings at #IO_PAN in #SOPOT, Poland - and our open session is on #Ocean Carbon #Science - do we have enough science?

Ulrich Niermann from Germany gives a historic reminder of his time at #METU in 1991-1996! And pointed out that Turkish people would BBQ even in the snow!

James Murray from #UniversityOfWashington talks about the US collaboration with #METU-IMS

Phoebe Koundouri from ReSEES and Athens University of Economics and Business gave a video message.

Mike St John from #DTU_Aqua reminds is that it started for him from #EurOceans that ran summer schools - one of which I was also lucky to run at @samsocean.bsky.social in HTL Ecosystem models including #EwE !
