Excited to share a recent article in The Conversation by PhD student, Katryna Niva: “The ocean is fighting climate change and we’re trying to help it – here’s how.”
Drawing on fieldwork in Halifax Harbour, the piece offers a vivid look at how scientists are exploring marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR), approaches that build on the ocean’s natural ability to absorb and store carbon. From improvised lab setups on a dive boat to cutting-edge instruments measuring invisible changes in seawater chemistry, the article captures both the ingenuity and the urgency of this work.
