COSEE Ocean Systems: News
Monitoring the Global Carbon Cycle
Description: Oceanographers seek to better understand how POC distribution varies in oceans around the world. Together with policy makers, they are interested in learning whether the changing climate is impacting POC and the global carbon cycle. NASA has awarded a University of Maine marine researcher a grant to improve ways to detect and track changes in the oceanic carbon pool, subsequently allowing scientists to better understand its role in oceanic ecosystems and the removal of atmospheric carbon dioxide.
