Cop30 live: crucial climate talks begin in Brazil as hosts insist summit must lead to ‘implementation’

Ministers and high-ranking officials from nearly 200 countries have gathered in the Amazonian city of Belem, with Brazil insisting this will be “the Cop of implementation”.

Marine CO₂ removal lacks standardized indicators to quantify carbon removed and environmental impacts. This absence of reliable metrics prevents verification, inhibits investment, and blocks entry into carbon trading systems.

iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

a schematic diagram showing various processes and related indicators for monitoring carbon removal in ocean systems, based on analyzed literature. The diagram divides the processes into three categories represented by different colors:

Blue Carbon (green): Focuses on processes related to carbon sequestration and the role of marine ecosystems in capturing and storing carbon.

Artificial Upwelling (yellow): Depicts processes that involve artificial interventions in marine environments to increase carbon capture.

Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (blue): Illustrates methods that increase ocean alkalinity, which can help enhance carbon removal.

The processes depicted in the diagram include:

Carbon Sequestration Potential: This refers to the ability of oceans to capture and store carbon, with an indicator for monitoring this potential.

Mineral Dissolution and Seawater Alkalinity Change: These processes are associated with changes in seawater chemistry, enhancing carbon sequestration through increased alkalinity.

GHG Emissions: This represents the release of greenhouse gases, which can be measured to monitor the net carbon dynamics in the system.

Carbon Removal Rates and Respiration: Shows how carbon is removed from the atmosphere and the role of respiration in this process, measured through carbon flux indicators.

Primary Production and Water Masses Detection: This includes the detection of primary production (e.g., photosynthesis) in marine systems that leads to organic carbon formation.

Sinking, Remineralization, and Burial: These processes involve the movement of carbon from the surface to deeper ocean layers, with some carbon remineralized and some buried in sediments.

New paper out 🥳 If you care about data management in geosciences - or believe in #OpenScience and #FAIRdata - this is a must-read. Although the Nansen Legacy project was a marine science project, the practices we discuss are broadly applicable across the geosciences.

Suganuma et al provide a thorough examination of the Holocene collapse of the Lützow-Holm Bay ice shelf in Antarctica. They pinpoint when the collapse happened by investigating the beryllium isotopes. When the bay became open ocean, cosmogenic ¹⁰Be could reach the sediments. doi.org/10.1038/s415...
