Global Models Assessment of Marine Biology's Role in Ocean Carbon Storage

This UK-US collaborative funding opportunity supports research projects designed to advance understanding of how biological processes regulate and influence ocean carbon storage. Projects will use multiple global models to assess the impact of marine organisms on seawater's capacity to absorb CO2 and evaluate the efficiency of carbon transport from the ocean surface to deeper layers. Applicants must employ diverse, complementary global models to provide robust, multi-model assessments of biological influences on ocean carbon storage through 2100. This research addresses critical questions about marine ecosystems' role in long-term carbon cycling and climate regulation.
