Показать описание
Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) aims to accelerate natural weathering to stimulate transfer of CO2 from the atmosphere into seawater.

In September 2024 we commenced a field study to investigate Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement. We add a few hundred grams of ground alkaline rock (Olivine from Mortlake, Victoria) to ~1x1 m patches of coastal sediment.

Our study has two main goals:

1) determine positive and negative effects of the ground material on organisms inside the sediment.

2) understand how the addition of alkaline rock mineral influences the fluxes of carbon and other elements within and out of the sediments.

The research is led by scientists from the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies at the University of Tasmania.

The videos published alongside the field study aim to provide an impression of the field work. For further insights please visit our homepage at:
