"Among #sequestration methods, CO2ย #injection into oceans is of great primacy due to the oceansโ€™ large sequestration ability. However, there are concerns about the changes in H2O pH as CO2ย is injected into oceans."

On this point new study is conducted, details๐Ÿงตโฌ‡๏ธ ImageImage
๐ŸŒŠ Researchers "experimentally measure the pH and solubility at #pressures up to 400 atm, #temperatures between 283 and 298 K, and different aqueous solutions in a high-pressure #autoclave reactor."

๐ŸŒŠThe results of this research "indicated that increasing pressure increases the #solubility of CO2 in aqueous solutions, resulting in lower pH values. In contrast, increasing #salinity and #temperature lowers the solubility and, as a result, increases the system's pH."

"The recent review article discusses the basic operation of the marine #CarbonCycle & 2 #mCDR methods that are "thought to offer the greatest potential in terms of #CDR mass:

Various conclusions were drawn in the review which are enlisted below:

1๏ธโƒฃ "The alkalinity of the ocean creates a massive increase in the oceanโ€™s capacity to #store #carbon, relative to a scenario without #OceanAlkalinity."

2๏ธโƒฃ "Ocean warming causes decreases in both #CO2 #solubility and the Revelle factor (B), which make the ocean less efficient at #absorbing CO2."

The Climate Change Authority of #Australia has issued a report that pinpoints #CarbonSequestration as critical to reduce emissions.

"Storing C away from the atm is integral, both to avert #GHGs from entering the atm & to #remove them from it."

The report notes that "while conventional #CarbonAccounting is simple and economically flexible, it does not consider crucial differences between different sources and sinks of #GHG #emissions."

๐ŸšจPaper Alert๐Ÿšจ

Marine protected areas #MPAs are increasingly promoted as #ocean-based #solution to #ClimateChange, but their contribution to climate change #adaptation and #mitigation remains contentious. Our meta-analysis of 22,403 papers brings clarity. Link below.

๐Ÿ™ˆSpoiler alert๐Ÿ™‰

#FullyProtected #MPAs can can significantly enhance:

ยฉ๏ธ carbon sequestration
๐ŸŒŠ coastal protection
๐ŸŸ biodiversity
๐Ÿก reproductive capacity of marine organisms
๐ŸŽฃ fishersโ€™ catch
๐Ÿ’ฐ fishersโ€™ income

๐Ÿงต(2/17)
We identified the potential โ€œclimate pathwaysโ€ through which #MPAs could contribute to #ClimateChange #mitigation and #adaptation. First along mitigation and adaptation dimensions, and then distinguishing among #ecological and #social dimensions of adaptation.

THREAD: What happens to #carbon once it's sequestered in soils? How can we lock it in & ensure it doesn't return to the atmosphere as CO2?

Soil scientists use "fractionation" methods for that^. Fractionation tells us about different pools of C-some stay forever & some are quick
Consider it like food for the body.

Some of the energy in your food will get used to build your bones-it stays there & is permanent. Some of the energy gets digested & respired as CO2 when you breathe. Not permanent, but you still need it. & some is intermediate-stored as fat.
In soils, we call the permanent fraction MAOM (minerally associated organic matter). This is the soil C that gets stuck to minerals & stays forever.

The faster fraction is called POM (particulate organic matter). This pool is a lot more dynamic

Todayโ€™s the day! Join our chief scientist @j_zelikova, as well as @SenWhitehouse, @RepPaulTonko to *get the dirt* on whatโ€™s happening in the future of soil carbon storage. bit.ly/3bepUsh
Fantastic remarks from @RepPaulTonko and @SenWhitehouse on the need for negative emissions technologies to meet climate goals, and the critical role agricultural soils play in achieving this.
"For the farming community, this [soil carbon storage] could be a win-win-win situation." -- @RepPaulTonko
