Australian scientists are exploring ways to remove carbon from the atmosphere – using our oceans.
- Research Lead, Carbon Dioxide Removal, CSIRO
Efforts to reduce emissions and decarbonise industry must be combined with new technology that removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Australia can build an industry around this service.
A climate overshoot that creates warmer oceans with lower oxygen levels will reduce the suitable habitat for many marine species long after CO₂ levels have peaked and declined.
Regional variations in sea temperature can make all the difference between a coral reef suffering major bleaching or surviving as a refuge for corals, new research shows.
The Paris agreement has given us some solid targets to aim for in terms of limiting global warming. But that in turn begs a whole range of new scientific questions.
Ocean acidification will hurt some parts of the Great Barrier Reef more than others.
New research shows that we’ll have to remove carbon from the atmosphere for any chance of keeping warming below 2C.
