mCDR what exactly is it?
The acronym mCDR stands for “marine carbon dioxide removal” and defines the process of using ocean-based methodologies to capture and store carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere, with the aim to reduce global carbon levels.
Sequoia’s sensors can be used in the laboratory and field in support of different aspects of mCDR research. For example, in the context of ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) research, measurements of particle properties (size distribution, concentration, settling velocity) with our sensors can help scientists understand the dissolution, transport, and fate of alkaline material in the water. Additionally, measurements of in-water optical properties (hyperspectral absorption, hyperspectral backscattering) can support environmental monitoring efforts and help researchers understand the biogeochemistry impacts of different mCDR methodologies on the water environment.
The measurements provided by Sequoia’s sensors are critical to helping scientists and operators assess the safety and efficacy of different mCDR methodologies in different marine environments. Learn more by contacting Sequoia today! Please find these informative links below:
