BOB体育登录网址_欧宝体育官网平台-APP|下载 multidisciplinary research team studies the biogeochemistry of marine systems, both in the open ocean and in shelf seas. We take on societal and global environmental issues.

Part of Ocean and earth science

BOB体育登录网址_欧宝体育官网平台-APP|下载 research contributes to the understanding of the ocean's role in global carbon, nutrient and other chemical cycles. We study the anthropogenic effects on the ocean’s functions and ecosystem services. We also research the ocean's role as a sponge for carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
