[C]Worthy

Our CEO, Matt Long, will be a featured speaker in this upcoming webinar about #MRV and #mCDR. Register here: https://lnkd.in/gCP3hMAG "Assessing effectiveness of marine carbon removal: Measurement, reporting, and verification of ocean alkalinity enhancement" This webinar will provide a scientific discussion of measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) for ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE). Experts will discuss the importance of rigorous MRV, entities potentially responsible for funding and conducting MRV, existing ocean observing infrastructure and modeling capabilities, and implementation readiness. For more background on OAE, please watch the previous webinar “A closer look at ocean alkalinity enhancement”: https://lnkd.in/gSpwSGXm

We're really excited about this SE hire! Please help spread the word.

[C]Worthy is hiring a Lead Software Engineer to work on the development of oceanographic models to support quantification of ocean-based carbon dioxide removal. To apply: https://lnkd.in/gtUhcf3q

We are #OSM2024 and are looking forward to sharing the projects we've been working on! Come learn about what [C]Worthy is up to at the Monday and Tuesday poster sessions and on Wednesday morning for a short talk!

Isometric is partnering with [C]Worthy, a non-profit “Focused Research Organization” building the tools needed to ensure safe, effective, ocean-based carbon dioxide removal. [C]Worthy is currently building C-Star (Computational Systems for Tracking Ocean Carbon)—a set of open-source software tools to support oceanographic and biogeochemical modeling and data integration for measurement, reporting, and verification of marine carbon dioxide removal projects. The goal of the collaboration is to use C-Star to better quantify the uncertainty bounds associated with ocean models used to calculate net removals of marine carbon dioxide removal projects. Diverse collaborations are essential to advancing research on measurement reporting, and verification. These partnerships help foster scientific consensus and build needed trust in the carbon removal industry. Scientists, research organizations, and project developers interested to get involved or follow this work can engage through the Isometric Science Network.

Looking forward to co-hosting, "Advancing Responsible Field Trials: A Workshop for OAE Research" with Carbon to Sea Initiative and Ocean Visions at Ocean Sciences in New Orleans. We will discuss several topics related to OAE research and hear case study presentations from Ebb Carbon, Vesta, PBC, Ocean Alk-Align, and Planetary. Register here: https://lnkd.in/gqUF7hmk

Tune in on Feb. 8th to hear our Director of Research and Operations, Alicia Karspeck, PhD, talk about [C]Worthy and to learn more about #MRV for marine CDR!

Our staff scientist and mCDR modeler, Ulla Heede, was quoted in Bloomberg's article where she talks about the impact of El Niño on global average temperature. "Scientists Are Already Bracing for Record Breaking Heat in 2024" "Picture a pot of water heating up on a stove, says Ulla Heede, a scientist who works on ocean modeling at the nonprofit [C]Worthy. If you pour cold water into the pot, 'you will only feel a slight change in temperature in the pot,' she says. That’s effectively what happens during La Niña, when cold water rises from deep in the ocean to the surface. Now stop pouring the cold water. Suddenly, the water in the pot is warming up much faster. This is the impact of El Niño, Heede says, and the longer it lasts, the warmer the Pacific and the air above it get. Since El Niños usually take months to peak, there’s also a 'lag or delay between heating of the tropical Pacific and the rise in global surface temperatures,' says Michael McPhaden, a senior scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. In other words, the second year of an El Niño is often warmer than the first." Check out the rest of the article below: https://lnkd.in/e-y6WArK

We are excited to see #mCDR and #MRV being discussed at COP28 UAE! In case you missed it, you can watch the recording of the Ocean Visions talk at #cop28, "Proving or Disproving Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal in the Next 5-7 Years: What Will It Take?": https://lnkd.in/gRY23-kj

[C]Worthy is looking for a Technical Project Manager to provide project planning and management for core software and data products that will support marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) technology. To apply: https://lnkd.in/deeB9ucD
