OceanICU

The Horizon EU OceanICU is a five year project that seeks to gain a new understanding of the biological carbon pump and its processes in order to provide fundamental knowledge and tools to help policy makers, regulators and Ocean industry–fishing and mining, along with the wider blue economy–manage and understand the impact of their actions on Ocean carbon. This will ultimately lead to a better approach for addressing climate change in alignment with the EU Green Deal to reduce the net emissions of greenhouse gases to Zero by 2050.

To undertake this complex objective, the OceanICU’s consortium of 30 partners brings together expertise and methods from different Climate Science, Ocean Biogeochemistry, Biological Oceanography, and Marine Ecology as well as the Ocean Modelling community, Social Science, Software Development and Data Science from around Europe.
