YIP+: The next frontier of Marine Science to mitigate climate change

The oceans play a pivotal role in global climate regulation and protein production. Larvaceans, widespread gelatinous zooplankton with extraordinary growth rates, are ignored but might sustain carbon sequestration and fisheries under change. The project will use observation technology, robotics, and biogeochemical models to uncover the current and potential future role of larvaceans to mitigate negative climate change impacts in the oceans. The grant allows for recruiting one Ph.D. and one postdoc.
