Description

The presentation explores ocean iron fertilization (OIF) as a potential method to mitigate climate change by stimulating phytoplankton growth that draw down carbon dioxide. It touches on past experiments that showed promise in increasing carbon export to the deep sea, while addressing ongoing debates around the technique’s effectiveness and risks. The talk emphasizes the need for careful scientific oversight to prevent unintended consequences.
