NCEO/CASIX Uncertainties of the Ocean Carbon Cycle meeting, 2nd July 2008, London

Uncertainties of the Ocean Carbon Cycle: understanding changes in fluxes and ecosystems

 

2nd July 2008, The Geological Society, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London, W1J 0BG

 

Recent research has highlighted how the ocean's ability to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere may be changing. For the past five years the NERC Centre for observation of Air-Sea Interactions and Fluxes (CASIX) has been investigating ocean processes responsible for the air-sea exchange of CO2 to reduce uncertainties in our understanding. This meeting will present the latest results to those with an interest in Earth system & climate science, climate and energy policy and carbon mitigation strategies. Speakers will include:

  • Prof. Andy Watson (UEA): A variable and decreasing sink for atmospheric CO2 in the North Atlantic.
  • Prof. Jim Aiken (PML): Changes in global phytoplankton community structure from satellite observations
  • Rosa Barciela (Met Office): Modelling short-term and long-term variability in air-sea CO2 exchange
  • Jason Holt (POL): High-resolution modelling of CO2 exchange in European shelf waters

This event has been timed to coincide with the "The Breathing Ocean" exhibit at the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition, organised by the UK Surface Ocean Lower Atmosphere Study (UK-SOLAS), CASIX and CarboOcean.
