#RESTORE4Cs 4th General Assembly in Valencia Coastal wetlands not only offer heavens for 🦅 🐟 🦗 and protection from 🌊, they also play an important role in the carbon cycle and the mitigation of climate change. But how do the type and status of coastal wetlands alter their carbon uptake and emissions? And how can satellite data help assess this? These are some of the questions that the #RESTORE4Cs are addressing, and that we discussed last week as partners met for the 4th general assembly in Valencia. Thanks to the dedicated organizers at the University of Valencia, we also had the opportunity to visit the Majal de Moros wetland and the Albufera lake! These beautiful places feature preserved, altered and restored costal ecosystems which will help respond to our questions.

#Seaweeds - especially species such as #kelp - grow very quickly, and in the process absorb large quantities of #carbon from the atmosphere through #photosynthesis. However, just “like trees in the autumn that shed their leaves, the kelp loses its material throughout the year, so the kelp doesn’t actually hold the carbon for very long. We need to find out where that carbon ends up, where the kelp carbon flows into the ocean and the sea floor… with the hope that, in the future, we can protect that carbon – and help fight climate change.” Watch the new film with our Prof Ana Queirós on the project she’s leading to discover the carbon secrets of Orkney’s kelp forests: https://lnkd.in/evMJ_ECf #orkney #orkneyislands #orkneyisles #kelpforests #bluecarbon #NatureBasedSolutions #ClimateChange #climatechangesolutions #climatechangeaction #climatechangemitigation

There's still much to learn about long term carbon sequestration from seaweeds. The video in the link is very informative.

June is World Ocean Month, a time to reflect on the vast expanse of our planet covered by water. At GeoOptics, we recognize the pivotal role that understanding our oceans plays in maintaining the Earth’s ecosystems. Leveraging satellite technology, we plan to observe and monitor Earth’s oceans to assess the state of our oceans & the impact on the environment. This will also empower scientists, policymakers, industries, and citizens to make informed decisions regarding climate change mitigation and ocean conservation efforts.

Our Nature-based Climate Solutions (NbCS) paper is out. The results are in: tropical and temperate forest conservation and reforestation have strong scientific backing that can drive climate solutions, however more research is still needed for other NbCS.

🌊 Our oceans absorb 30% of CO2 and 90% of excess heat, but they're warming at twice the rate they were 20 years ago. 🌡️ Geo-data is essential for tracking ocean health and driving climate action. By sharing this data, we can protect marine life and coastal communities. Read the latest article by Fugro’s Robert Hoddenbach in The Engineer UK to find out how we can harness Geo-data for a sustainable future. 🔗 #ClimateAction #OceanHealth #Sustainability #UNOceanDecade #GeoData #Fugro
