Ocean Carbon & Biogeochemistry (OCB)

Ocean Carbon & Biogeochemistry (OCB) is a scientific field that studies how the ocean absorbs, stores, and exchanges carbon, as well as the biological and chemical processes involved. The ocean plays a crucial role in regulating Earth's climate by acting as a sink for carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. OCB researchers investigate how factors like ocean currents, temperature, and marine life influence carbon cycling, helping us understand climate change and protect ocean health. Their work informs predictions of future climate impacts and ways to mitigate carbon emissions effectively.
