Origin and fate of biogenic particle fluxes in the ocean and their interaction with the atmospheric co2 concentration as well as the marine sediment

Objective

ORFOIS will identify and quantify globally the mechanisms underlying the transformation of bioorganic particles to dissolved substances within the ocean water column in order to predict reliably surface ocean carbon dioxide sources and sinks . Community models for particle dynamics and early digenesis will be provided. In two different Biogeochemical Ocean General Circulation Models(BOGCMS) these modules will be implemented in order to achieve a closed marine carbon and nitrogen budget. The Begums will be applied to reindustrialise as wells global warming conditions, and to carbon sequestration scenarios. Comprehensive data bases of observations (carbon dioxide partial pressure, carbon and nutrient cycles ) will be compiled, which provide the foundation for the development of the community models and the verification of results. The socio-economic impact of the modelling approach will be quantified.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
