To all of my Café Thorium followers on X (formerly Twitter)- I’d encourage you to check out Blue Sky where you will find @cafethorium.bsky.social where I will be following others and posting on issues related to all things #oceans and #radioactivity

This is the first time in over a decade that the marine scientific community has come together to endorse a research plan for ocean #iron & #carbondioxide #removal - check out the science and social issues we @ExOIS considered
whoi.edu
A newly published article spells out the work needed to assess the potential of ocean iron fertilization as a low cost, scalable, and rapidly deployable method of mCDR.

Getting back to work @WHOI after co-teaching a great 4 day training course on marine radioactivity. With lectures, field and lab work our 30+ students got an intensive intro. Check out diversity of affiliations . Quite a success!

what a great group at our ExOIS gathering @WHOI last week. Our goal is to evaluate if adding #iron to the #ocean is an efficient and responsible approach to reducing atmospheric CO2. And if so, provide the protocols to do this. More @ExOIS_OceanIron.

Research is needed on how ocean carbon removal methods — such as iron fertilization and direct capture — could impact the environment.

Ever wonder what mCDR is all about and why scientists need to be engaged in #climate solutions? read more @AGU_Eos -The Science We Need to Assess Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal
eos.org
As companies begin selling credits for marine carbon dioxide removal in largely unregulated marketplaces, scientists must develop standards for assessing the effectiveness of removal methods.

We @ExOIS_OceanIron are in agreement that more science is needed before we deploy ocean CDR at scale. These studies are urgent, but do not replace need for emissions reductions. More from Kerry and D. Ho on Carbon Removal Technologies via @theenergymix

Learn more here about the issues with #radioactivity at #Fukushima and a decision to release these wastes into the ocean. See article from Dennis Normile in Science-

Well spoken words from Henry Puna the Secretary General of the Pacific Islands Forum. Have a look at- Japan must work with the Pacific to find a solution to the Fukushima water release issue – otherwise we face disaster

Based on our experience with nuclear contamination, continuing with ocean discharge plans is simply inconceivable

A #Falmouth Enterprise piece on dumping of #radioactive water in #Cape Cod Bay is well balanced but when I said "the solution to pollution is dilution" it was to point out this is INCORRECT. Accumulation in marine animals and seafloor sediments can occur for many radionuclides

Here at #COP27 and #OceanPavilion with a talk today at 10:30 on "Blue Climate Solutions: Considering the ocean's role in our path to net negative emissions" I will be sure to mention our new report on R&D priorities for ocean iron fertilization .@WHOI
