January 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 […]

You 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 […]
