There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Summary Sentence: The Spring 2022 OSE Seminar Series -- Dr. Scott Doney, Joe D. and Helen J. Kington Professor in Environmental Change
Full Summary: The seminar is offered both virtually and in person on the 3rd floor of ES&T in the new Ocean Room.
SP2022 ImageHuman emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases drive ongoing climate change and limiting the extent of further global warming is a key element of the Paris Climate Agreement. Climate stabilization efforts will require net zero human CO2 emissions by roughly mid-century, and many climate scenarios require substantial levels of deliberate CO2 removal from the atmosphere to meet these goals. At present, the natural processes in the ocean act as a major sink for anthropogenic CO2, and various biological and industrial technologies have been proposed for enhancing ocean CO2 removal. A recent National Academies report addressed many of the issues around ocean-based CO2 approaches.
Dr. Scott Doney was also Chair of the National Academy Committee on A Research Strategy for Ocean Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) and Sequestration, which released a report early this year. Available here
