The European Ocean Carbon Summit is a campaign driven by a coalition of Horizon Europe projects focussed on ocean carbon to jointly summarise the aims and achievements of this EU investment portfolio and make recommendations for future funding actions; findings will be presented at an public event in Brussels.
Down Under in the Southern Ocean, the TRICUSO team has achieved another great success with the implementation of a surface pCO₂ sensor – an underway system on the MV Pharos, enabling crucial measurements of the surface ocean’s uptake of carbon.
For the first time, a new approach to characterise surface ocean pCO₂ variability using observations from multiple Research Infrastructures, which disentangles the anthropogenic and circulation-driven contributions to observed pCO₂ changes, has been successfully validated at reference ocean time-series stations and extended to the Southern Ocean.
Partner NOC’s lab-on-chip technology miniaturises analytical laboratory methods into compact autonomous sensors. For this milestone, the focus has been on the TADIC sensor, which combines two carbonate-system measurements within a single autonomous lab-on-chip platform…
A new observation-based estimate of the Southern Ocean carbon sink, south of 30°S, has been achieved by using machine learning to combine traditional ship-based measurements from SOCATv2025 with year-round data from autonomous Biogeochemical-Argo (BGC-Argo) floats.
Wind drives ocean circulation, mediates the air and sea gas exchange and shapes biogeochemical processes. Yet, we have a shortage of direct wind measurements in the Southern Ocean where the most important conditions are the hardest to observe. See how TRICUSO is addressing this challenge by trialing profiling floats equipped with passive acoustic sensors.
Check out our project’s colourful factsheet and learn how TRICUSO is delivering a roadmap for the optimal surface Ocean pCO₂ observing system via novel sensor technology, various platforms, mapping and data synthesis.
In the game of ocean observation bingo, it’s fair to say Richard’s card is relatively full and yet somehow his capacity seemingly expands to accommodate new challenges. So, we thought the tide was in a good place to cast a few rounds of questions and learn a little more about Richard and his thoughts on TRICUSO as it hits its year two stride.
International Day of Women and Girls in Science supports shaping a future where science and gender equality advance together. TRICUSO marked the 2026 annual occasion by asking some of our colleagues to encourage women to consider a career in science.
Kicking off a new year, with a new trial. TRICUSO colleagues from partners Euro-Argo and CNRS-IAS in collaboration with our sister project GEORGE, have been innovating acoustic wind sensor technology on floats, building on the work from a trial they undertook late last year.
