GO-BGC Webinar #4, February 15 Observing Mesoscale and Sub-Mesoscale Processes with BGC Argo Please join us for the quarterly GO-BGC webinar, hosted by the US Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry Project Office. This webinar will be focused on using BGC-Argo float data to investigate chemical and biological processes in the ocean that are influenced by eddies, […]
Read MoreProducing data that can be effectively compared across space and time is a critical aspect of developing a collaborative international microbial biogeochemistry program. Intercalibration activities involving validation of precision and accuracy and development of intercomparison standards are foundational to the production of interoperable data. With BioGeoSCAPES aiming to launch mid-decade, further progress must be made […]

Read MoreJanuary 24 Webinar – Outcomes from the OCB mCDR MRV workshop: What we learned and what’s coming next
In September 2022, the OCB community gathered for a workshop to build the OCB community’s capacity to conduct research on Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) of marine CDR by identifying priorities, pathways and best practices in this relatively new area. The workshop was designed to provide both education for the community as well as ample […]

Read MoreThe NOAA Ocean Acidification Program on behalf of the National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP) is soliciting proposals focused on (a) reducing uncertainty about the extent and durability of marine Carbon Dioxide Removal (mCDR); (b) understanding associated co-benefits (including ocean acidification mitigation) and risks of mCDR; and (c) the science needed to build regulatory frameworks for […]
Read MoreYou are invited to take part in a community-wide survey to identify knowledge gaps in understanding biology’s role in ocean carbon storage. The survey forms part of the BRICS project which aims to identify the gaps in our understanding, and highlight model limitations, which result in uncertainty in contemporary and future ocean carbon storage.The survey […]
Read MoreCarbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) is a hot topic right now – there have been a flurry of various activities recently1. As a community of practice focusing on carbon cycle science in North America and adjacent oceans, NACP is poised to make significant contributions in this arena as new programs are initiated and existing CDR activities […]
