This project aims to be the first to assess risks and co-benefits of Enhanced Weathering for marine pelagic ecosystems. Enhanced Weathering is a powerful tool that can reduce atmospheric CO2 with significant economic co-benefits. However, it perturbs seawater chemistry and associated impacts on marine ecosystems are unknown. This project expects to combine state-of-the-art field and laboratory research to reveal whether Enhanced Weathering is a sustainable tool for CO2 Removal. The project provides significant benefits as it builds capacity within the currently emerging research field “ocean-based climate change solutions”. Within this capacity, it will help to identify a sustainable and economically viable future for Australia.

该项目旨在成为第一个评估增强风化对海洋中上层生态系统的风险和协同效益的项目。增强耐候性是一种强大的工具，可以减少大气中的二氧化碳，并具有显着的经济效益。然而，它会扰乱海水化学以及对海洋生态系统的相关影响尚不清楚。该项目预计将最先进的现场和实验室研究结合起来，以揭示增强风化是否是一种可持续的二氧化碳去除工具。该项目提供了显着的效益，因为它在当前新兴的研究领域“基于海洋的气候变化解决方案”内进行了能力建设。在此能力范围内，它将有助于为澳大利亚确定一个可持续且经济可行的未来。
