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:
- Derive quantitative measures and a framework of the Biological Carbon Pump in a changing ocean.
- Quantify the relative roles of biological vs. physical drivers of future changes.
- Determine the long-term impact of the Biological Carbon Pump on the carbon cycle beyond the year 2100.
- 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.
