Sequoia Scientific, Inc. is supporting the Carbon to Sea Initiative and COVE as they launch one of the world’s first open-source R&D initiatives focused on ocean climate science!
This Joint Learning Opportunity (JLO) is focused on scientific investigations and deploying new and existing technologies to explore the efficacy of ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) to serve as a marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) strategy. The initiative includes collaborations with Planetary Technologies and Dalhousie University.
As a leading manufacturer of optical instrumentation for the in-situ study of marine and freshwater particles, Sequoia is uniquely suited to support various aspects of this research. Sequoia instrumentation will be deployed throughout the OAE research to measure particles and optical properties of the water in-situ to support the study of particle transportation, accumulation, and dissolution. Participation in this JLO presents an exciting opportunity to test and validate Sequoia’s sensors in a new application area and contribute to an important scientific investigation addressing climate change.
