New paper out in Nature Reviews Earth & Environment today arguing for a new way of thinking about ocean alkalinity enhancement Rethinking ocean alkalinity enhancement Abstract: Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) aims to increase the capacity of seawater to durably store anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2). OAE has been portrayed as a top–down coordinated geoengineering approach that…

New Paper out today in Biogeosciecnes from Chris! He explores what drives inter-annual variability and emerging trends in subantarctic productivity. Towards constraining the drivers of variability and trends in subantarctic productivity Abstract: The subantarctic Southern Ocean is a climatically important region, where primary production largely drives the seasonal uptake of atmospheric CO2, contributing to the…

John has a new paper out today in JGR: Oceans on the complex role of eddies on productivity in the EAC Environmental Controls on Eddy-Induced Chlorophyll-a Anomalies in the East Australian Current System Abstract: Mesoscale eddies in the East Australian Current (EAC) system modulate phytoplankton growth via different mechanisms. Long-term averages of elevated and suppressed…

Sophie has a new paper out today in GRL on the drivers off grazing dynamics. Identifying the Environmental Drivers of Spatial Variability in Zooplankton Community Grazing Dynamics Abstract: Biogeochemical models used to estimate carbon export fluxes are highly sensitive to their parameterization of zooplankton grazing dynamics. Zooplankton grazing dynamics have been shown to vary spatially,…

New Review out on Potential Marine Ecosystem Impacts of Climate Intervention Potential Impacts of Climate Interventions on Marine Ecosystems Abstract. Rising global temperatures pose significant risks to marine ecosystems, biodiversity, and fisheries. Recent comprehensive assessments suggest that large-scale mitigation efforts to limit warming are falling short, and all feasible future climate projections, including those that…

Annika has a new paper out in Community Earth & Environement! An improved model of particle attenuation reduces estimates of Southern Ocean carbon transfer efficiency. Abstract: The downward transport of organic particles produced by marine organisms is a key control on the ocean’s carbon storage. Measurements of particle attenuation through the water column have historically…

Pearse has a new paper out!
