Marine snow as a drawdown method
We want to spread information and earn the social license for the GEA@275 Project. Professor Stasa Puskaric has established the project in order to continue the research and development of marine snow as a drawdown method. By initiating the formation of marine snow in the Southern ocean, we could help the ocean remove excess CO2 from the atmosphere. Marine snow could remove up to 20% of annual global emissions, but professor Stasa Puskaric and the GEA@275 Project need social, political and financial support to continue the research.
In order to beat global warming and prevent disastrous climate change, we must remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Remains of marine snow covers the deep ocean floor. Carbonate accumulation from marine snow in oceans has absorbed carbon dioxide over millennia and been a key driver in keeping the planet cool for millions of years. They produce more than 25 percent of the oxygen we breathe and form the Earth's largest carbon sink. When organic particles fall from the surface ocean to the seafloor, a small but significant proportion of atmospheric carbon is stored away.
What is new about the GEA@275 project? Professor Stasa Puskaric has discovered how to make marine snow, and want to test if he can plant it in the Southern oceans to help the oceans remove some of the excess CO2 from human activity.
