NERCscience | Will marine life take up less CO2 in a warmer world? | The NERC BIO Carbon programme @NERCscience | Uploaded October 2023 | Updated October 2024, 36 minutes ago.
Just like forests on land, marine life absorbs vast amounts of carbon dioxide from our atmosphere, helping to control our climate. But we don't fully understand how ocean ecosystems will respond to a warmer world and how this will affect their ability to take up CO2.
NERC BIO Carbon is a £10.3 million scientific programme investigating the connections between our climate, the carbon cycle and the health and function of marine ecosystems.
It's led by a team at the National Oceanography Centre @NOCnews and funded by the Natural Environment Research Council.
Watch out for more videos explaining the challenges the programme is addressing and the science it's supporting.
