The workshop was organised with support from the Marine Alliance for Science and Technology for Scotland (@mastscot.bsky.social) Marine Biogeochemistry Forum and from NASA.
International scientists gathered at the University of Strathclyde in March for a major international workshop led by the NERC BIO-Carbon programme.
The event brought together 103 participants and around 70 online attendees, spanning modelling, observational, and experimental research communities!
Meet coccolithophores, tiny organisms shaping our climate by capturing CO2 and building ocean ecosystems.
They've worked for millions of years unrecognised. They've earned their day.
We're supporting a new bid to make #CoccolithophoreDay 10th Oct!

New research confirms mysterious blue particles from the deep sea are fish pellets, and they have a previously unrecognised role in ocean chemistry and the carbon cycle! 🐟💨💎

🪼New paper on plankton powerhouses💪
Bringing plankton to the forefront of science, policy & awareness. “New paper explains why their influence is much greater still, helping & influencing humanity in so many ways.”

💬 Anyone interested in leading one of the themes of the workshop should register their Expression of Interest by 30th June.
🎫 Anyone interested in applying for Stage 2 funding is encouraged to consider involvement in an international data workshop on The Roles of Biology in Helping the Ocean Store Carbon that is due to take place in Glasgow in 2-4 March 2026.
🤝 In an exciting new partnership, NASA is planning to support collaborations with researchers in the US where the NASA EXPORTS programme has been tackling similar themes!
🚨 Announcement 🚨

Today marks one year since the launch of our first expedition! 🚢
From a coccolithophore bloom the size of Scotland, to the first country-to-country deployment for an ALR, our spring and autumn expeditions pushed the boundaries of #oceanscience.
