Mini-workshop: Advancements of Machine learning and statistical models in Marine Science

Dr Eurico Noleto-Filho is visiting us until the end of April with a BCCR fellowship and EU TRIATLAS support. As part of his visit, he will be holding two mini-workshops and seminar that may interest many of you.

Seminar talk: “Impact of glacial rock flour on marine productivity and CO2 uptake”.

Jørgen Bendtsen, University of Copenhagen, Globe Institute, section for geobiology,will visit BCCR (as a BVF) during 13-14 March 2023 (Monday and Tuesday). He will give the BCCR seminar talk on 13 March, kl. 14:15, on a presentation with tentative title: “Impact of glacial rock flour on marine productivity and CO2 uptake”.

It is a topic of interest for negative emission technologies (NETs) as a natural analog for combined ocean fertilisation and alkalinisation to assess risks/opportunties and also interesting for paleoceanographers in view of the glacial CO2 drawdown.

Carbon system meeting

We will have our next carbon system meeting March 31st, 1300-1500

 

The focus for the meeting is the high latitude Atlantic and Arctic Carbon Sink. We have a few presenters signed up already, with tentative titles:

 

Are Olsen – Non steady state changes in the inventory of anthropogenic carbon in the Greenland Sea

Nadine Goris – Reflections on need for model improvements for the high latitude Atlantic carbon sink

Emil Jeansson – Decadal changes in Nordic Seas carbon inventories + update on DYNASOR activities (possibly)

Meike Becker – Reflections on future research on the North Atlantic Carbon sink.

 

Let us know if you also would like to present something, talks on the past/present/future are welcome.

 

All the best

Jörg and Are.
