Heather Kim #WHOI and colleagues published a new model analysis of #Ocean #ClimateChange

The study indicates a global decline in bacterial biomass and increase in carbon cycling through bacteria in a warmer future ocean.

Study provides the first systematic analysis of marine bacteria at global scale and a critical step toward a better understanding of how bacteria affect the functioning of the biological carbon pump and partitioning of organic carbon pools between surface and deep layers.

To keep #global #warming under 1.5ºC, @IPCC_CH says we must get serious about carbon dioxide removal (#CDR). We need a 4D observing network to study the #ocean's potential to take up more CO2, says #WHOI President & Director @pdemenocal in @ConversationUS

Now at #AGU22 (S405a): Tyler Winkler from #WHOI talks about using “blue holes” from the Bahamian archipelago to track North Atlantic tropical #cyclone variability over the last millennium - finds anomalously *intense* #tropicalcyclone activity (inferred from several blue hole records) during the Little Ice Age (#LIA) from 1500-1600 CE!

If you are attending #AGU22 in Chicago this week, Brenna Boehman ( @twitter.com@BoehmanBrenna) from #WHOI will be giving a talk on Friday EP56B-05 about selective preservation of Amazon River derived terrestrial organic carbon in the Guianas mudbanks! With coauthors:
