Changes in carbon uptake and emissions by oceans in a changing climate
March 2011 – February 2015
The EU FP7 project CARBOCHANGE brings together over 100 scientists from 28 partner institutions in 15 countries.
The overall goal is to determine the ocean’s quantitative role for uptake of human-produced carbon dioxide, and to investigate how large this uptake rate has been in the past, how it is changing at present, and how it will evolve in the future.
This is essential knowledge to assess the expected consequences of rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations and to guide the management of CO2 emission reductions.
