Update from ExOIS consortium

The multidisciplinary expert group called Exploring Ocean Iron Solutions (ExOIS) led by Prof. Ken Buesseler are detailing their approach to evaluate the pertinence of ocean iron fertilization as an efficient potential action for carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) in a paper recently published in Frontiers. The new metric they propose as well as a plan of 5 activities needed to assess ocean iron fertilization from a scientific and technological perspective are exhaustively described in the paper:
