Biological Influence on Ocean Carbon: Novel Modelling Approaches
Offers funding for United Kingdom researchers developing novel ocean carbon models in deep, open water systems and climate-relevant science.
The Biological Influence on Ocean Carbon: Novel Modelling Approaches 2026 is a targeted NERC call co-funded with NASA's EXPORTS (Export Processes in the Ocean from RemoTe Sensing) programme. It seeks new computational models of the biological processes that drive carbon storage and export in the open ocean, specifically in water columns above the deep ocean floor (seafloor depth greater than 1,000…
Novel modelling of biological processes driving ocean carbon storage for BIO-Carbon and NASA EXPORTS programmes. Must address open ocean water columns beyond continental shelf breaks, seafloor depth >1,000m.
