The Ocean Optics 2017 training course entitled “Calibration & Validation for Ocean Color Remote Sensing“ is starting this week at the University of Maine’s Darling Marine Center (10 July – 4 August 2017). As the course progresses, the powerpoint presentations from all the lectures plus the recordings and the lab’s printed materials will be posted […]
PBS series “Changing Seas” joined a BATS cruise during January 2017 to film an episode that introduces the biological and solubility pumps (featuring BIOS’s Nick Bates, Rod Johnson and Amy Mass, and Dennis Hansell). Watch on YouTube
Since preindustrial times, the ocean has removed from the atmosphere 41% of the carbon emitted by human industrial activities (Figure 1). The globally integrated rate of ocean carbon uptake is increasing in response to rising atmospheric CO2 levels and is expected to continue this trend for the foreseeable future. However, the inherent uncertainties in ocean […]
OCB supported early career participation in Cornell Satellite Remote Sensing class in June 2017. Nicole (Nikki) DeLuca is a third-year PhD student in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Johns Hopkins University, advised by Benjamin Zaitchik. Her work focuses on using ocean color remote sensing in coastal and inland waters, including the Chesapeake […]
Under the increasing threat of climate change, conservation practitioners and policy makers are seeking innovative and data–driven recommendations for mitigating emissions and increasing natural carbon sinks through nature-based solutions. While the ocean and terrestrial forests, and more recently, coastal wetlands, are well known carbon sinks, there is interest in exploring the carbon storage potential of […]
The North Pacific accounts for ~25% of the global ocean’s uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. However, the relative importance of the biological pump vs. physical circulation in driving ocean uptake of CO2 remains poorly understood. In a recent study, Palevsky and Quay (2017) used geochemical measurements collected on sixteen container ship transects […]
