ALL of these must be run in parallel (not in series) because we don't have the luxury of time. This is the decade to do it, but the decade is already 3/10th over. Follow our work at @OceanFrontier & @creativedlab because we are leading efforts on all paths. in parallel!.

This is the decade to create pathways (eliminate barriers) to climate solutions. This includes more pure science, starting new CDR ventures, innovation to scale MRV, establishment of safe/responsible tests, allocating investments, alignment of markets & all the policy work.
It's the deciding decade…where we research, developed, test, and decide which climate solutions are effective, don't have horrible side effects, and can be applied justly. It’s not the decade to deploy these solutions. An important read from @jtemple .

+1 for Canada. Our ocean-climate tech innovators are building great companies from AI on cubesats to ocean-based CDR climate solutions. @OceanFrontier @OceanStartup @creativedlab.
What will astonish @AmyFrancetic about AI in climate? She's interested in the power of AI to capture satellite data, and in particular, underwater marine data, to harness the potential of the oceans in light of short-falling carbon reduction measures. @carboncopypod

Ocean-Climate solutions will be the next example of an enormous success only accomplished together. @OceanFrontier @WHOI @DFO_MAR @NOAA #NACO.
As President Biden said:.“Canada and the United States can do big things – because we do them together.”. Space is a great example. We are happy to continue the journey together to the Moon and beyond. #Artemis . @NASA @SenBillNelson.

Awed by the amazing #Dal3MT presenters at the @DalGradStudies 3-minute thesis competition! Of course the #diatom and #carbon pitch was exceptional and important! Well done, Nuwanthi Samarasinghe!

We need strong science, honest economics, and world-class storytelling to communicate important messages such as the climate crisis.

The concept of #Deep #Blue #Carbon is eloquently and demonstrably communicated by @AnyaWaite from @OceanFrontier at @COP27P. To make a meaningful impact on climate mitigation, we need to focus on the big picture.
#COP27 #EarthInfoDay @anyawaite: most carbon observations are land or atmosphere, but the ocean stores 80% of the Earth's total carbon, of which over 90% is in the deep. #OceanObs are a vital part of an integrated Global Climate Observing System @gcos_un

Even more than a ‘call’ for action - the @OceanFrontier institute is presenting a PLAN for climate action @COP27P.

Some thoughts about hurricanes, the ocean's connectivity to storms and climate, and how nations can unite to improve predictions, save money, and protect lives. [Written with @AnyaWaite 24 hours after Hurricane Fiona with no power and limited data!]

This thread is sooo good. For scientists/from scientist! Top takeaways: #1 Economists/Policymakers/Investors don’t read peer-reviewed papers. #2 Learn new ways of communicating to increase the impact of your work (pitch deck!). #3 There is so much private funding for good ideas.
Today marks 6 months since I left scientific research for climate philanthropy (and a bit of impact investing). I absolutely love it but it’s a whole new world. What I’ve learned so far and how it’s helpful for my scientist and scicomm friends, a 🧵 (1/ ).

How is @OceanFrontier is contributing to World Ocean Day? By leading a global initiative to measure & model the ocean to enable carbon sequestration policy/tech/investment to mitigate climate change. This has impacts on global climate strategy and drives real economic growth.
International Space Station. for the oceans. A new idea has been floated by researchers on Canada's east coast for a multinational ocean monitoring network in the North Atlantic. Story:
