🌊🤿 I’m Louise, I study how rising anthropogenic CO₂ impacts the ocean’s carbon cycle. My focus is on the marine biological carbon pump and the ocean’s carbon sink.

I recently gave a TEDx talk on deploying robots in the Antarctic Ocean to better constrain the ocean carbon sink 🕹️ youtu.be/mPi08_HC6cg

Coolest thing ever 🤩

This morning we were introduced to the CaPASOS pCO2 sensor by the @exeter.ac.uk team, and then got to build a lite version ourselves to understand how it works. From bubbling the equilibrator to testing calibration with reference gas! 🫧⚗️

That’s the only downside you have to go get it in most scenarios. So in most areas it’s fine but if you’re putting it on a mooring in the Southern Ocean you have to hope you can embark to go get it!

In the afternoon, we spent time with the @noc.ac.uk team to get hands-on with their Lab-On-Chip systems for DIC and TA — miniaturized chemical analyzers that can perform complex carbonate chemistry measurements.

Never been more motivated to write grants so I can buy all these shiny new toys 💸

Morning of Day 3 at the @george-project.bsky.social TF II, we looked at the ClearWater pH sensor and how it’s designed for high-precision autonomous ocean pH measurements 🔥

🧪 Had a great time tinkering with the HydroC CO₂ sensor setup at the @george-project.bsky.social TF II. So cool to see the internal components and how these systems are engineered for high-precision ocean measurements

🌊 So excited to be at the @vliz.be in Ostend for the second @george-project.bsky.social Technical Forum focusing on sensor technologies developed within the project.

Time to play with some ocean tech! 🎮🧰

Like all other CO₂ removal (CDR) techniques, significantly more research is needed over the next few decades to determine whether enhanced rock weathering is a viable method for CDR.
Challenges and opportunities in scaling enhanced weathering for carbon dioxide removal - Nature Reviews Earth & Environment
Commercial investment in enhanced rock weathering for carbon dioxide removal on agricultural lands is growing rapidly. This Review explores the potential of large-scale deployment, outlining the challenges faced in science, policy and governance to scale the technology.

The world has lost its most powerful advocate for nature and hope. Yet many remain who will continue her legacy and I know she will continue to inspire generations more.

🔎 What we show:
• High-frequency pH captures fine-scale diel variability.
• North Atlantic: temperature explains most short-term pH; South Pacific: biology and distinct water masses weigh in.
• Despite local wiggles, mesoscale pH/CO₂ fluxes are stable.

🎉 We have a new open-access paper in Biogeosciences!

We used a shipboard @pyroscience.bsky.social optode setup to log near-surface pH at 2–4 samples/min across the North Atlantic and South Pacific Oceans.

From small-scale variability to mesoscale stability in surface ocean pH: implications for air–sea CO2 equilibration
Abstract. One important aspect of understanding ocean acidification is the nature and drivers of pH variability in surface waters on smaller spatial (i.e. areas up to 100 km2) and temporal (i.e. days)...

Reef fish, such as this pufferfish in North Bali, contribute to ecosystem function by linking lower and higher trophic levels in coral reef food webs. They are also incredibly cute.
