We have a few weeks yet, but I know you're thinking about submitting an abstract to AGU. If so, you might want to consider our session: GC049 - Establishing the scientific basis for marine Carbon Dioxide Removal (mCDR) Link here: agu.confex.com/agu/agu26/pr... 🌊🧪
A description for AGU 2026 Fall meeting session titled: GC049 - Establishing the scientific basis for marine Carbon Dioxide Removal (mCDR)
The details are: In addition to being an important mandate for restraining future warming, marine Carbon Dioxide Removal (mCDR) is an interesting research question for Earth scientists of many specialties. Here, we are requesting abstracts for studies across the research spectrum-from biology to geochemistry-that provide insight to mCDR applications. All lab, field, or model-based research on mCDR is encouraged to submit to our session. Of particular interest are novel methods and results for mCDR applications as well as measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV).
The conveners are Patrick A. Rafter and Mathis Hain
