Screenshot of the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 2025 website showing the session details for "Session US2 – Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal: Fostering Earth Science Forces for Combating Global Warming." The session is scheduled for Friday, May 2, 2025, from 14:00 to 15:40 CEST in Room E1. It is chaired by Giulia Faucher, Carolin Löscher, and Gerhard Herndl. The program includes a 5-minute introduction, speaker presentations, a discussion on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR), and audience questions. Featured speakers are Louis Legendre (France), Daria Atamanchuk (Canada), and David Ho (USA). The session is hybrid with Zoom access. 🌊

I'm on an mCDR panel at #EGU25, but I just learned that our convener Carolin Löscher from Denmark won't be there.

She's been diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer whose expensive treatment is only available in the US and UAE.
