What can #CFC concentrations in the ocean tell us about the ocean's changing #GreenhouseGas sink?

Let's talk about it at my webinar on surface ocean transient tracer saturations, October 21st 2025, 11am PDT/2pm UTC.

🌊 New study shows timing of CO₂ cuts is the main driver of sea-level rise variability by 2065–2075; unless Antarctic Ice Sheet tipping points are triggered…

Rapid decarbonisation + adaptation are both crucial to manage sea-level rise risks

The interplay of future emissions and geophysical uncertainties for projections of sea-level rise - Nature Climate Change
Unclear emissions and ice-sheet processes drive uncertainties in future sea-level rise. The authors show that the timing of emissions reductions drives the uncertainties during the twenty-first century, but geophysical uncertainties become more important with time, especially under optimistic scenarios.

Tracer-based Rapid Anthropogenic Carbon Estimation (TRACE)
Abstract. The ocean is one of the largest sinks for anthropogenic carbon dioxide (Canth) and its removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere has been valued at hundreds of billions to trillion...
