As part of the UK NERC BIO-Carbon research programme, with the support of the Marine Biogeochemistry Forum from the Marine Alliance for Science and Technology for Scotland (MASTS - https://masts.ac.uk/research/biogeochemistry-forum/ ), we are delighted to announce an international data workshop on the role of biology in helping the ocean store carbon.
The workshop will bring together scientists from around the world, to pool data on key processes and to determine how we should go about capturing those processes in the next generation of climate models. A major aim of the workshop is to bring modellers, observationalists and experimentalists together to co-design roadmaps for how this should happen.
The following projects have already agreed to be involved: APERO (France), BIOPOLE (UK), EXPORTS (USA), OceanICU (EU), PICCOLO (UK), REMO (SCOR working group), SOLACE (Australia), TCA (Canada).
Please find further details and a form to register an Expression of Interest (by 14th May please) here:

In particular we are looking for volunteers to lead themes at the workshop.
We look forward to working with many of the community in Glasgow in 2026.
Scientific organising committee: Adrian Martin, Kelsey Bisson, Philip Boyd, Sarah Cryer, Lionel Guidi, Stephanie Henson, Hans Hilder, Julie LaRoche; Laura Lorenzoni, Mark Moore, Alex Poulton, Carol Robinson, David Siegel
