PRECOG is a research group at the University of Liverpool exploring the future dynamics of carbon storage associated with the Biological Carbon Pump in a changing climate. Our aim is to use Earth System Model projections to:

  1. Derive quantitative measures and a framework of the Biological Carbon Pump in a changing ocean.
  2. Quantify the relative roles of biological vs. physical drivers of future changes.
  3. Determine the long-term impact of the Biological Carbon Pump on the carbon cycle beyond the year 2100.
  4. Predict which future projections of the Biological Carbon Pump are most likely and how this might impact schemes to artificially enhance carbon storage.

PRECOG is funded through a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship.
