A joint workshop with SCOR, SOLAS, and Schmidt Sciences: Climate October 12-15, 2026 in person at Bigelow Laboratory (Boothbay Harbor, Maine) and online. The organosulfur compound dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) ignited an entire subfield of biogeochemistry to investigate the precursor of the “anti-greenhouse gas” dimethylsulfide (DMS). Since then, decades of research have unveiled the importance of DMS(P), […]

The paper provides a comprehensive synthesis of 68 existing ocean carbonate chemistry data products and data product sets, including cruise-based compilations, time-series datasets, gap-filled observational products, and model-based reconstructions. The authors highlight the diversity of available products, noting differences in spatial coverage, temporal resolution, methodologies, and intended scientific applications. By systematically cataloguing and comparing these […]
