Growing seaweed in the open ocean could be foiled by iron deficiency, new study finds

Growing seaweed in the open ocean is widely considered a viable way to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, but a new study reveals the iron concentration in the open ocean is inadequate to sustain seaweed growth—a fact that scientists say should be part of the ocean afforestation debate.

The paper presents a new model ICON-Coast that uses a telescoping #HighResolution for an improved representation of the #coastal #ocean #CarbonCycle #dynamics.

#Global #models fail to capture coastal zones due to coarse resolution. #Regional #models struggle to realistically represent the #coastal - #OpenOcean interactions.
#Seamless #integration presents new opportunities.

The brilliant Rebecca Helm (Open Ocean Exploration, #GoSea) is here! Lots about the strangest ocean life, especially the neuston, and efforts to save it. Boyan Slat's black eye. Occasional references to weird animals on land, such as humans. She's threatening to use Insta and TikTok more than Mastodon so follow her and give her a reason not to overlook us. @RebeccaRHelm
