Understanding the Arctic carbon cycle means connecting land, rivers, coasts and ocean. A new paper by POMP researchers calls for better coordinated observations, stronger process understanding and closer science–policy dialogue. Full paper 📑 t.ly/TLHXm #PolarResearch #Arctic

The Arctic and Antarctic hold ~20% of the global ocean, yet their habitats are still largely absent from blue carbon policy. A new POMP review in Global Change Biology maps what is known, what is not, and what protection could look like now. doi.org/10.1111/gcb.71098 #PolarResearch #BlueCarbon

Status of Polar Blue Carbon: Toward Recognition and Integration in Marine Policy

Carbon-rich habitats in polar regions are globally important, as uptake of CO2 by marine systems is shifting toward the poles. Changing conditions are exposing these regions to anthropogenic exploita...
