Autonomous observing technologies and methods for sustained ocean carbon observations and climate mitigation research

Session ID#: 254393

Session Description:
Oceanic carbon data and information are needed for accurate assessment of the ocean’s carbon uptake rate and capacity. These insights are vital for shaping national and international climate policies and guiding mitigation strategies. Our ability to observe and model the oceanic carbon cycle depends strongly on the availability of sustained high-quality observations enabled by fit-for-purpose observing tools and methods. Such observations are also critical for evaluating current and future marine Carbon Dioxide Removal (mCDR) applications building the backbone of global Measurement, Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MMRV) schemes. 

Advancements in material science, ocean technology and evaluation of new sensing techniques are paramount in enabling ocean measurements on wide spatio-temporal scales necessary to: a)  understand past, present and future changes in the global carbon cycle, and b) evaluate the feasibility, durability and efficiency of mCDR methods currently being investigated. 

We invite submissions from academic and government researchers, nonprofits and the ocean technology industry developing and evaluating novel tools and methodologies for direct observations of the seawater’s carbonate system. The session aims to showcase the current state-of-the-art in ocean carbon observing and highlight new observing strategies using autonomous sensors and platforms. Technology performance evaluations in laboratory studies and field deployments are especially welcome.
