Chemical Oceanography Center

Investigates ocean chemistry and biogeochemical cycling β€” with particular focus on the ocean's role in global carbon cycling and thermohaline-circulation-driven trace-element transport β€” by simulating these mechanisms through coupled ocean biogeochemical-circulation models (box models, GCM coupling).
