Projects

Carbon sequestration
This project will focus on carbon sequestration. The deep oceans represent a possible location for storage of CO2 released by fossil-fuel burning. Whether we choose to use this store must be info... Read More »

Ocean acidification
This project will focus on ocean acidification. Increasing CO2 levels have the inevitable consequence of decreasing ocean pH with profound consequences for ocean chemistry and biology. The Institu... Read More »

Ocean carbon uptake
This project will focus on ocean carbon uptake. As atmospheric CO2 levels rise, so do those in seawater so that some CO2 is removed from the atmosphere. Future ocean uptake of CO2 is sensitive to ... Read More »

Ocean circulation
This research will look at Ocean circulation. The pattern and strength of the large-scale ocean circulation is the key factor controlling the rates at which the ocean uptakes heat and carbon. More... Read More »

Sea-level rise
This project will focus on rising sea levels. As well as their active role in the carbon cycle, the oceans are responding to change in the 21st Century by increasing their volume. Resulting sea-le... Read More »
