Senckenberg Distinguished Lecture Series #08

The ocean offers a portfolio of measures for carbon dioxide removal and solutions for unavoidable residual emissions. The impact of these measures on the ocean and the protection of this vital ecosystem must be carefully and thoroughly assessed. To overcome these complex challenges (legal framework, scientific basis, technological issues, socio-economic aspects, etc.) we need reliable research results, and it is our mission to responsibly evaluate ocean-based approaches that remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Safe marine carbon storage options, alkalinization and restoration, e. g., of seagrass meadows, are investigated across all marine research disciplines. Ultimately, we must succeed in making the transition to a climate-neutral society while the most appropriate solution is to reduce our emissions.

The event will be take place on 5 November 2024 at the Senckenberg Research Institute and Natural History Museum, Frankfurt/Main at 14:00 in the Green Lecture Hall of the Arthur-von-Weinberg-Haus.
