Om

I am interested in studying the regional and global impacts of the present and future anthropogenic climate change on the ocean biogeochemistry using a range of models from regional ocean-only configurations to global Earth system models.

In the Ocean Biogeochemistry research theme of NORCE Climate & Evironment, the objective of my research is to reduce the uncertainties in the projection of the ocean anthropogenic carbon uptake ; assess the robustness of climate model projections with respect to thresholds and tipping points linked to the ocean biogeochemistry like ocean deoxygenation, acidification, and productivity ; investigate the ocean biogeochemical implications of the climate feedbacks and their uncertainties under mitigation scenarios.

Response of the Earth System to overshoot, Climate neUtrality and negative Emissions

The RESCUE project aims to expand our understanding of the potential role of both land- and ocean-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR) techniques in future mitigation scenarios.

To achieve the Paris Agreement's goals, it is critical to reach climate neutrality by mid-century. However, current climate policies fall short of the necessary cuts in CO2 emissions. RESCUE explores the potential role of CDR methods like bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), afforestation/reforestation, and ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) in plausible future scenarios to tackle the enormous mitigation challenges that have accumulated over the past decades.
