This study by my colleagues at University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa shows that deep sea mining waste to be released near the ocean surface would disrupt marine food webs.

The same would be true of grinding and spreading rocks in the ocean for CO₂ removal. 🌊

A new paper, led by GO-BGC researcher @koelling.bsky.social, using @bgc-argo.bsky.social data, examines ocean ventilation in the subpolar North Atlantic. These insights enhance our understanding of how oxygen enters the deep ocean and may aid in predicting future oxygen loss due to climate change.
Our new 🌊 paper “Progressive oxygenation of the North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre” is out @jgroceans.bsky.social (open access): agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

We examined the breathing of one of the ocean’s lungs 🩺 and found some surprises

ChatGPT cited a paper of mine which I did not know existed, so I asked it for the link to it.
Unfortunately that link to the Nature website just gave a "Page not found".
So sad.

Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.

Nature research paper: A prudent planetary limit for geologic carbon storage

go.nature.com/4p6MvOQ
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 decisions on priorities for storage use.

The amount of carbon that forests can take up is much lower than previous estimates. If we don't reduce CO₂ emissions rapidly, we can say goodbye to the Paris climate targets forever.

Forestation (afforestation and reforestation) could mitigate climate change by sequestering carbon within biomass and soils. However, global mitigation from forestation remains uncertain owing to vary...
