Global scientists unite in Glasgow to advance ocean carbon modelling

 

Scientists from around the world gathered in the Technology and Innovation Centre at the University of Strathclyde from 2–4 March for a major international workshop led by the NERC BIO-Carbon programme. The event brought together 103 in-person participants and around 70 online attendees, spanning modelling, observational, and experimental research communities.
