The COMFORT project sets out to quantify coupled cycles of carbon, oxgen and nutrients for determining and achieving safe operating spaces in the ocean, particularly in relation to global ecosystem tipping points in the oceans. With a budget of €8.19 million, the project will involved 32 partners from 9 European countries, and South Africa, India and China. Guardrails for decisionsProfessor Christoph Heinze from the University of Bergen and the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research, who is leading the project with Thorsten Blenckner at the Resilience Centre, said: "The results will provide guardrails for political and logistical decisions on combatting and avoiding dangerous climate change. We will propose revised scenarios for greenhouse gas emission reductions in order to limit the damage to ocean systems. These revisions will consider the timing and the amount of greenhouse gas reductions, and include options for realising negative carbon dioxide emissions." Levels of CO2 concentrations vs ocean conditionsThe COMFORT researchers will examine what levels of atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations will cause oceanic environmental conditions to deteriorate abruptly. This will help to look at what goals for mitigating climate change need to be considered alongside temperature increase limits. Working with partnersDr Yuri Artioli, PML Marine Ecosystem Modeller and a member of the project, said: "We are very excited to be part of COMFORT, where we will investigate if the combination of warming, acidification and human activities will trigger tipping points in the North Western European Shelf that could lead to faster and heavier deterioration of the marine ecosystem and fishery. |
