DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Andy Dale (Geomar)\n\nAbstract:\nCarbon dioxide remo
 val (CDR) and long-term storage are urgently needed to limit global warmin
 g and sustainably manage the global carbon cycle. Ocean alkalinity enhance
 ment (OAE) via the addition of carbonate minerals to the seafloor is a pro
 mising method to sequester atmospheric carbon dioxide as dissolved bicarbo
 nate. Here\, we combine in situ experiments and modeling to determine the 
 dissolution rate of added calcite under natural conditions at Boknis Eck (
 southwestern Baltic Sea). The calcite exhibited a distinct dissolution sig
 nal at rates that validate previous laboratory findings. Similar results w
 ere observed in the Gotland Basin\, suggesting that calcite addition could
  serve as an effective regional OAE strategy.\nMeeting link:https://geomar
