If you are attending AGU Fall Meeting, please join one or more of our listening sessions on #CDR #PublicEngagement to inform two #NSF funded efforts: Planning for a future global research center on #climate #intervention #technologies (CIT) & Building community capacity for marine CDR (mCDR) 1/.
🧵 @bopplaurent.bsky.social and I were asked, "Should we think of the ocean as a climate solution?", our immediate reaction was that it's already one. Follow on to see why.

We mainly talk about marine CO₂ removal (mCDR), but some of the intro stuff about the ocean should interest everyone. 🌊1/n
