What a week! #WHOI leadership + researchers spent #CapitolHillOceanWeek talking with legislators, federal agencies, and conservation groups about the future of #BlueTech and strategies for ocean-based carbon dioxide removal or #mCDR.

#GulfCoast sea levels are rising at alarming rates. #WHOI scientist @chrispiecuch says the frequency of flooding across the region wouldn't have happened two decades ago.

My first update of 2024 for changes in land ice mass observed by GRACE(-FO) satellite in Antarctica (left) and Greenland (right) 🧊📉

Makes tons of sense, if counterintuitive. Reduced demand is the priority for reduced future CDR obligations.
