1 Core theme 3: Quantification of the carbon sources and sinks at the European regional scale Operational goals: To assess the (Variability of) Carbon uptake and release from / to atmosphere C-Exchange between: Marginal seas, land, atmosphere and Atlantic Ocean Full carbon budget for Western Europe; with CarboEurope IP). WP12 : Regional assessment for the North Sea WP13 : Regional assessment for the West Mediterranean WP14 : European Integration Helmuth Thomas and CT3 partners Royal Netherlands Institute of Sea Research, Texel, The Netherlands. Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada.

2 Light will be shedded on CT3’s highlights by Monday WP13 Frank Touratier – Carbonate system and anthropogenic CO 2 throughout the Mediterranean Sea Emma Huertas – Gibraltar: the Mediterranean gate for carbon outflow WP14 Harro Meijer – Cont. atmospheric CO 2 and O 2 measurements on the F3 North Sea platform Damian Panasiuk – Scenarios of CO 2 emissions in Europe to 2030 Tuesday WP12 Abir Omar – Variability of air-sea CO 2 flux in the North Sea based on one year of observations from VOS Alberto Borges – CO 2 dynamics off the Belgian coast, in the southern North Sea and at European scale Frederic Gazeau – Benthic calcification in the North Sea Nathalie Gypens – Response of the Belgian coastal zone to increased atmospheric CO 2 and nutrient loads: from pristine to 2015 And many posters!!!!!!!!!!!!

10 Observations in the North Sea 2001 and 2005 Identical period of cruises: 16.8.-13.9.2001 and 17.8.-6.9.2005. 90 identical CTD stations during both cruises >40,000 underway measurements of pCO 2 Correction for biological and hydrographic variability All relevant CO 2 system parameters to fully investigate the system

11 Atmosphere +11ppm ΔpCO 2 +36ppm -0.06 -10% :basin-wide changes: changes Aug. 2001 => Aug. 2005 pH Details and more during the seminar on Thursday Calcification
