Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is increasingly under discussion as a strategy to help keep climate change below 2 degrees C and mitigate the impacts of ocean acidification. This webinar will provide an overview of the marine CDR projects recently funded by the National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP).

There are four research labs in Alaska equipped to conduct studies on the response of Alaska species to ocean acidification, as well as one in Oregon. A new spreadsheet shows what’s available at each lab to help researchers connect with resources.

Ocean acidification was in the mix at an annual environmental sampling workshop this spring hosted by the Southeast Alaska Tribal Ocean Research (SEATOR) partnership.

Missed the June CDR webinar? No problem! Join NOAA carbon scientist Jessica Cross for an intro to CDR, the current methods being explored, and their context in Alaska. This webinar is part of the ACCAP webinar series and will include time for Q&A.
