Out yesterday in @nature.com our study led by @gidden.bsky.social on how much carbon we can store in sedimentary basins. Key takeaways, (1) this is a limited resource, (2) most optimistically will limit global warming by 0.7°, (3) so let’s not waist it, but use it wisely.
Our paper is out today in @nature.com where we assess a Prudent Planetary Limit for Geologic Carbon Storage:

A prudent planetary limit for geologic carbon storage - Nature
A risk-based, spatially explicit analysis of carbon storage in sedimentary basins establishes a prudent planetary limit of around 1,460 Gt of geological carbon storage, which requires making explicit ...

Having fun with old hydrogeological maps of the Ahrtal, Germany, from the 1970's and solving for groundwater and surface water flow! Next up need to add some sediment erosion and transport. All part of the ANR-DFG funded project, Hilander: www.playgroundearth.de/pages/projec...

Back from spring sampling in the Ahrtal hills, Germany. Snow makes the springs much easier to spot.
