The respiration of exported carbon in midwater is a major way that the biological pump stores carbon in the ocean

Lewis - you seem well acquainted with Norway. Might be worth do doing a bit on Bankid and how useful it is for everything here.

Some great bands there

Species‐specific diatom dynamics shape their vertical distribution and export during bloom decline The Southern Ocean is a critical region for global biogeochemical cycles, particularly for carbon dioxide uptake and organic carbon export, partly driven by extensive phytoplankton blooms. In natural...

Ultimately the Biological Pump depends on the individual interactions of myriad species with the local environment & with each other. Here Sari Giering & others describe the detailed dynamics that drive flux as a large Southern Ocean Bloom declines.

Global carbonate chemistry gradients reveal a negative feedback on ocean alkalinity enhancement - Nature Geoscience Intensive ocean alkalinity enhancement will cause a proliferation of calcifying organisms, which reduces its effectiveness as a carbon sequestration approach, according to an analysis of coccolithopho...

This looks like a pretty importamt paper for people modelling calcifiers www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Marine ecosystem role in setting up preindustrial and future climate - Nature Communications A new study reveals that the ocean biological pump plays a vital role in maintaining low atmospheric CO2 levels and facilitating efficient future anthropogenic carbon sinks. Without it, climate change...

We all know the biological pump is interesting, beautiful & valuable, but how important is it in the Earth System? & what role (if any) does it play in ocean Canth uptake? These are just 2 of the Qs explored in this new @oceanicu.bsky.social‬ paper 🌊

Don't do personal stuff here but this seems like a noteworthy exception!

Within @icos-ri.eu we are thinking through what our strategy in this key area should be - fluxes to the atmosphere and burial are key terms we can manage if we have good long term datasets to detect change. RIs are ideally configured to produce and steward this information for commjnity usage

The Land Ocean Aquatic Continuum (LOAC) is a really important part of the Earth System for carbon cycling.

🌊The EuroGO-SHIP project has reached a critical point. All the work gathering user views, requirements and perspectives comes together to make a statement of requirements which we need to figure out how to integrate into the RI landscape. We're starting with a 2 day workshop at the top of Ulriken.

Introducing our new project - TRICUSO - Three Research Infrastructures Carbon Uptake Southern Ocean. We aim to integrate effort from surface CO2 observations within ICOS, deep observations from GOSHIP and Argo as a contribution to the WMO Global Greenhouse Gas Watch

Recently I took some time out to discuss the COP with Toste Tanhua from @geomarkiel.bsky.social. Its a big important event but what does it actually do, and how does it work? I'm not sure if we answered those queries but we had fun trying - what do you think?
