Home / Education / Educational resources / Can ocean alkalinity enhancement reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide?
At Dalhousie University in Canada, oceanographers Professor Katja Fennel, Dr Dariia Atamanchuk and Professor Ruth Musgrave are investigating the effectiveness and implications of ocean alkalinity enhancement, a CO2 removal technique that mimics the natural process of rock weathering.
Home / Awards & medals / Outstanding Student Poster and PICO (OSPP) Awards / 2016 / Florian Ott
In his research he focusses on the integration of chronological, sedimentological and geochemical data from the annually laminated (varved) Lake Czechowskie sediment record (N Poland) and aims on the understanding of climatic and environmental changes in the Northern Central European lowlands since the last deglaciation.

He works on developing automated, machine learning based, methods for detecting and monitoring methane super-emitter plumes using data from different satellite instruments in synergy. The work he presented during EGU23 showed the results of his recent study where a machine learning based detection system was developed and applied to all TROPOMI satellite methane observations of a full year. In this large global dataset, nearly 3.000 plumes were detected, most of them clustered in areas with human activities known to cause methane emissions.

Transport in runoff: detachment and transport can shift OC from a protected state in aggregates to an available state where it mineralizes more rapidly. Burial: the deposition of eroded OC moves OC into a low-mineralization context and can also enhance protection via aggregation.

Sarah’s responsibilities include the line-management of the Paris Science Team, as well as the coordination of work done in collaboration with the TSU members based at the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences in Beijing, China. Sarah supports the work of the AR6 authors, working closely with the WGI Bureau, as well as the WGI Co-Chairs.
Home / News / EGU news / EGU statement: Proposed cuts to EU science funding could slow future research and innovation
This independence requires financial support, says Beniest, and the ERC therefore plays an important role in the development of Europe’s junior researchers. “Financial resources are indispensable for Early Career Scientists to lay a solid foundation for their research programmes,” she says. “The ERC Starting Grants programme is one of the best examples of funding for Early Career Scientists to pursue their most ambitious scientific goals.”
