GEOMAR and Ocean Networks Canada launch basalt mapping project
Original: GEOMAR & Ocean Networks Canada Begin Project To Map Basalt For CCS Reference Data
GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research and Ocean Networks Canada have begun a project to map seafloor basalt formations, creating reference data for carbon capture and storage. The work aims to improve understanding of sub-seafloor basalt as a potential site for permanently storing CO2, supporting the growing field of offshore carbon storage research.
Why now: Carbon capture and storage is a fast-growing area of climate policy and ocean science interest.
