Satellite Data Improves Ocean Carbon Tracking

Can we tap the ocean’s power to capture carbon?

The oceans have to play a role in helping humanity remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to curb dangerous climate warming. But are we ready to scale up the technologies that will do the job?

Satellite Data Improves Ocean Carbon Tracking

New research utilizes satellite data to more accurately track ocean carbon, a critical component of understanding and predicting Earth’s changing climate. This innovative method improves estimates of how carbon moves from the surface to the deep sea, filling gaps in current modeling techniques.
