Research themes and projects

Oceans and climate

The world's oceans play a fundamental role in mitigating the effects of our greenhouse gases. They have absorbed over 90% of the excess heat resulting from anthropogenic greenhouse gases emissions and take up roughly a third of all CO2 emitted by humans.
