At the end of June, Jamie, Dan, Gemma, Ruth and Sorrel all travelled to Vienna, most by train, for the triennial LPS25.
It really was a fantastic week and a great chance for us to talk about our project and present our work. All in all we had 2 presentations, 1 panel, 1 interview, 1 press release, 2 posters and an animation.
We had two of our team in the Marine and Coastal Carbon session which Jamie chaired. Dan presented results from the SOCOMv2 Experiment 2 and Gemma presented on SCOPE.
Dan also created an animation of the ocean carbon flux from 1980 to 2024 which was used at the ESA CCI booth, you can see it in our blog here: https://oceancarbon4climate.org/oc4c-co2-flux-animation/ This animation was shown at LPS throughout the week, highlighting the ocean carbon based assessments to the wider community.
Jamie sat on the CEOS aquatic carbon roadmap panel and was also interviewed (this should be published soon)
The team had two posters presented (luckily they were at the same time and next to each other!). The first ‘A.08.08 Upper Ocean Dynamics’ (Eddies) detailed the global effect on long lived mesoscale eddies on the air-sea CO2 flux, which provides a community dataset to allow further study of these processes. The second poster ‘A.08.09 Marine and Coastal Carbon’ (Regional Biology) presented updates from WP2 on the inclusion of biology within global interpolation approaches, and the influence on the ocean CO2 sink. Both are below and can be downloaded.
