Coccolithophores and Diatoms Resilient to Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement - A Glimpse of Hope?

Explore the potential impacts of ocean alkalinity enhancement on marine ecosystems in this webinar featuring research on phytoplanktonic organisms. Delve into the study conducted by James Gately and Debora Iglesias-Rodriguez, which examines the resilience of coccolithophores and diatoms to this carbon removal approach. Learn about the promising prospects and potential concerns surrounding marine-based carbon dioxide sequestration methods. Gain insights into how ocean alkalinity enhancement may affect carbon uptake, pelagic productivity, and the overall balance of ocean ecosystems. Moderated by Wil Burns, this hour-long session from September 14, 2023, offers a comprehensive look at the intersection of carbon removal strategies and marine biology, providing valuable information for those interested in responsible climate change mitigation techniques.
