Getting back to work @WHOI after co-teaching a great 4 day training course on marine radioactivity. With lectures, field and lab work our 30+ students got an intensive intro. Check out diversity of affiliations bit.ly/3X7qHVW . Quite a success!

what a great group at our ExOIS gathering @WHOI last week. Our goal is to evaluate if adding #iron to the #ocean is an efficient and responsible approach to reducing atmospheric CO2. And if so, provide the protocols to do this. More @ExOIS_OceanIron

Carbon dioxide removal will be needed to mitigate the climate crisis and the oceans will play a significant role. Mitigation strategies incl. #OceanIronFertilization will be discussed @COP28_UAE #OceanPavilion 10 Dec, 5pm by @WHOI scientist Ken Buesseler @Cafe_Thorium @theNASEM

Hoping some of you can help us broaden our support for studies of #Ocean iron fertilization by following and donating to ExOIS. We are making the case #COP28 for emissions reductions and CO2 removal, and OIF is worth exploring for #CDR

Want to know what's next for studies of ocean iron fertilization for #ocean #CO2 removal aka #CDR ? Check out the new decadal plan from Exploring Ocean Iron Solutions #ExOIS published out of @WHOI oceaniron.org/our-plan/#path…

We @ExOIS_OceanIron are in agreement that more science is needed before we deploy ocean CDR at scale. These studies are urgent, but do not replace need for emissions reductions. More from Kerry and D. Ho on Carbon Removal Technologies via @theenergymix theenergymix.com/2023/05/02/…

Interesting @CNN article from viewpoint of Japanese fishermen on release of water from Fukushima tanks: cnn.com/2023/04/19/asia/japa…

Learn more here about the issues with #radioactivity at #Fukushima and a decision to release these wastes into the ocean. See article from Dennis Normile in Science- bit.ly/3Y4kaKQ

Well spoken words from Henry Puna the Secretary General of the Pacific Islands Forum. Have a look at- Japan must work with the Pacific to find a solution to the Fukushima water release issue – otherwise we face disaster theguardian.com/commentisfre…

A #Falmouth Enterprise piece on dumping of #radioactive water in #Cape Cod Bay is well balanced but when I said "the solution to pollution is dilution" it was to point out this is INCORRECT. Accumulation in marine animals and seafloor sediments can occur for many radionuclides

Here at #COP27 and #OceanPavilion with a talk today at 10:30 on "Blue Climate Solutions: Considering the ocean's role in our path to net negative emissions" I will be sure to mention our new report on R&D priorities for ocean iron fertilization oceaniron.org/our-plan/ @WHOI
