    TRICUSO (Three Research Infrastructures together: Carbon Uptake Southern Ocean) is a four-year Horizon Europe research project that seeks to enhance every level of the Southern Ocean carbon observation value chain from innovating sensor technologies and expanding observation capacities via autonomous and citizen science platforms, to data products and system governance in support of the WMO Global Greenhouse Gas Watch (G3W).

    HANS HANSSON CRUISE

    Great news: pCO2 data from Antarctica is live on the Beluga portal. Thanks to some good luck and dedication, Lucie Knor (GEOMAR) was able to take advantage of an exciting opportunity that involved a mad-dash to the Falkland Islands just in the nick of time to install the OceanPackTM RACE instrument on a ship of opportunity.

    Header image of TRICUSO Newsletter Volume 2 with a photo of sea with small calm waves as a background and a light blue gradient overlay. An illustration of half a sun and a compass indicating south is resting at the bottom of the image. Small icons of falling leaves and tulips are sprinkled around the compass, indicating autumn and spring seasons happening at once on different sides of the world. TRICUSO logo is centered in the middle and white text about Newsletter goes under it, saying 'TRICUSO CURRENTS, Newsletter Volume 2 - Autumn & Spring 2025'.

    TRICUSO CURRENTS

    It’s been a productive season. In the latest issue, learn about advancements in acoustic sensor development and an acceleration in SOCONET towards international governance, see TRICUSO represented at the WMO G3W Observations Task Team Meeting, get a recap on webinars and more.

    OCEAN SCIENCES MEETING

    TRICUSO colleagues Cathy Wimart-Rousseau, Pablo Trucco-Pignata (NOC) and Louise Delaigue (Sorbonne University) will be co-chairing a session: The Southern Ocean Carbon Sink: processes, observations, and change in Glasgow next year.

    SEE THE DETAILS

    TRICUSO key visual: a research vessel and a racing ship are crossing the letter C representing ocean carbon observation, leaving blue wakes behind and dropping argo floats after themselves for said observations.

    SOUTHERN OCEAN

    Below 40 degrees south latitude, waves rise as high as hilltops, water chills to the lowest ocean temperature on Earth, penguin communities abound on ice shelves, and tiny Antarctic krill draw massive whales to annual feasts, while serene kelp forests shelter a diverse ecosystem of unique marine life, contributing to carbon sequestration.

    Journey with us to this exciting region.
