Researchers, led by Dr. Moritz Mathis, model coastal seas' role in the global carbon cycle, revealing higher CO2 uptake intensity in coastal seas vs. open ocean, vital for climate change counteraction.
Researchers led by Dr. Moritz Mathis have successfully modeled the role of coastal seas in the global carbon cycle for the first time. Published in Nature Climate Change, their study shows higher CO2 uptake intensity in coastal seas compared to the open ocean. This understanding of CO2 distribution and exchange processes between the atmosphere, ocean, and land is crucial to counteract climate change.
