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.
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!!!!!!!!!!!!

Observations in the North Sea 2001 and 2005 Identical period of cruises: and 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
Atmosphere +11ppm ΔpCO 2 +36ppm % :basin-wide changes: changes Aug => Aug pH Details and more during the seminar on Thursday Calcification
