Richard Sanders @oceanrics.bsky.social · 24/03/2025Ultimately the Biological Pump depends on the individual interactions of myriad species with the local environment & with each other. Here Sari Giering & others describe the detailed dynamics that drive flux as a large Southern Ocean Bloom declines. aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.comSpecies‐specific diatom dynamics shape their vertical distribution and export during bloom declineThe Southern Ocean is a critical region for global biogeochemical cycles, particularly for carbon dioxide uptake and organic carbon export, partly driven by extensive phytoplankton blooms.

Richard Sanders @oceanrics.bsky.social · 05/03/2025We all know the biological pump is interesting, beautiful & valuable, but how important is it in the Earth System? & what role (if any) does it play in ocean Canth uptake?

Richard Sanders @oceanrics.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Within @icos-ri.eu we are thinking through what our strategy in this key area should be - fluxes to the atmosphere and burial are key terms we can manage if we have good long term datasets to detect change. RIs are ideally configured to produce and steward this information for commjnity usage 010

Richard Sanders @oceanrics.bsky.social · 15/01/2025🌊The EuroGO-SHIP project has reached a critical point. All the work gathering user views, requirements and perspectives comes together to make a statement of requirements which we need to figure out how to integrate into the RI landscape. We're starting with a 2 day workshop at the top of Ulriken. 070
Richard Sanders @oceanrics.bsky.social · 03/01/2025Introducing our new project - TRICUSO - Three Research Infrastructures Carbon Uptake Southern Ocean.

Richard Sanders @oceanrics.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Recently I took some time out to discuss the COP with Toste Tanhua from @geomarkiel.bsky.social. Its a big important event but what does it actually do, and how does it work? I'm not sure if we answered those queries but we had fun trying - what do you think? ocean-icu.eu/podcasts/pod...ocean-icu.euPodcast - Episode 1 - Demystifying the COP - OceanICUThere is no excerpt because this is a protected post. 010
