🌊 Argo reveals how the ocean helps slow climate change! The ocean absorbs ~25% of our CO₂ emissions, but how that carbon is stored deep below the surface has remained hard to observe. Thanks to Argo, scientists are now uncovering these hidden processes. 🔗 More info: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

A sad day. Jorge Sarmiento, one of the greats in ocean science, passed away today. Jorge was a model leader; thoughtful, compassionate, and an excellent scientist. His leadership of @soccomproject.bsky.social transformed @bgc-argo.bsky.social into a global system.
Jorge Sarmiento's early work revealing the Southern Ocean's role in regulating atmospheric CO₂ helped lay the scientific groundwork for programs like SOCCOM and GO-BGC alike. Grateful for his vision and the trail he blazed for our entire community. #Argo #BGCArgo #ArgoFloats #SouthernOcean
Long before SOCCOM existed, Jorge Sarmiento was already asking the question that would define it: what does the Southern Ocean tell us about our climate? www.princeton.edu/news/2026/05... #ArgoFloats #BGCAgo #SouthernOcean #oceanscience
Yes, if AMOC shuts down, it may release hundreds of billions of tonnes of CO₂. You know what's guaranteed to release hundreds of billions of tonnes of CO₂ in the next few years? Our continued use of fossil fuels.
Collapse of key ocean current may release billions of tonnes of carbon
If the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation shut down, the knock-on effects could release hundreds of billions of tonnes of CO2, raising global temperatures even further
