This research program will make novel, high precision measurements of gases dissolved in the ocean to investigate ocean carbon dynamics. Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide and its effect on climate make understanding how carbon moves between different parts of the environment of utmost importance. We will make measurements that are unique in Canada, from common gases like oxygen and nitrogen to rare noble gases, in order to scrutinize the transport of carbon by both physical and biological mechanisms from the surface ocean, where it interacts with the atmosphere, to the deep sea, where it can be stored for hundreds of years.

该研究计划将对溶解在海洋中的气体进行新颖的高精度测量，以研究海洋碳动力学。大气中二氧化碳的增加及其对气候的影响使得了解碳如何在环境的不同部分之间移动至关重要。我们将进行加拿大独一无二的测量，从氧气和氮气等常见气体到稀有稀有气体，以仔细研究碳通过物理和生物机制从海洋表面与大气相互作用到深海的运输，在那里它可以储存数百年。
