Latest News:

13 November 2024: The Global Carbon Budget 2024 with VLIZ contribution is out as preprint today (link). Several news outlets have already picked up on it. Here some of the Belgian ones highlighting the work of my team:

1 November 2024: New paper out by Ford et al on the uncertainty in the air-sea CO2 flux from observations (link)

26 October 2024: Just found out I am listed on the Stanford/Elsevier top 2% scientist list (link)

30 August 2024: A new European Marine Board working group (with my contribution) on MRV for mCDR kicked-off this week (link)

30 August 2024: 2023 was the warmest year in the modern record with ocean heat content increasing and sea levels rising. But the worst of it all: greenhouse gas concentrations are still on the rise. The State of the Climate 2023 report just got released (link)

25 July 2024: Another study out in Science Advances on the air-sea CO2 flux in the Southern Ocean based on eddy covariance measurements (link)

24 July 2024: New paper out by Duke et al in JGR Ocean on the strong "CO2 Source-Sink Juxtaposition in the Coastal Zone" of the Canadian and US Pacific Ocean (link)

3 June 2024: Schmidt Sciences officially announced its funded OBVI´s and our project InMOS is part of it!!! More following this link to the announcement

30 April 2024: Just online: A new study by Dong, Bakker and Landschützer on the negative effect of a declining observing network on the air-sea CO2 flux accuracy published in Geophysical Research Letters (link)

25 March 2024: Last week, the Ostend working group on the North Sea in a changing climate met at VLIZ in Ostend. A follow up is planned.

25 March 2024: The BERNARDO project kicked off last week! VLIZ aims to build a background marine carbon budget for the Belgian part of the North Sea

10 February 2024: Hot off the press: two new studies from my group

 

  • We find a detectable change in air-sea CO2 fluxes from sailboat measurements: Behncke et al 2024, Scientific Reports (link)

  • We provide a spatially explicit uncertainty and bias analysis for the SOM-FFN method: Jersild et al 2024, GRL (link)

20 January 2024: First papers in 2024 just got published

  • Roobaert et al 2024, ESSD from my research group developed a coastal ocean CO2 flux product resolving trends (link)

  • Resplandy et al 2024, GCB (link)

5 December 2023: The 2023 Global Carbon Budget with VLIZ contribution is now published (link)
