Biological influence on ocean carbon: novel modelling approaches

Apply for funding for a project to improve representation of biological processes in carbon storage models. It must be led by a UK researcher. It is strongly encouraged for projects to include US team members who will be supported by NASA through this joint funding call. The project lead must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for NERC funding.

Multiple model assessment of biological influence on ocean carbon

Apply for funding for a project comparing and improving biological carbon storage in multiple global models. It must be led by a UK researcher. It is strongly encouraged for projects to include US team members who will be supported by NASA through this joint funding call. The project lead must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for NERC funding.
