BG4.2 Blue Carbon: The role of coastal and marine sedimentary organic carbon in the global carbon cycle
Coastal and marine sedimentary systems are crucial components of the global carbon cycle and potentially play an important role in global climate regulation over varying timescales. Coastal vegetated habitats (classical Blue Carbon) such as seagrass, saltmarsh and mangroves, alongside marine sedimentary environments are estimated to trap and store globally significant quantities of OC and potential provide an important climate regulation service. Though these environments are clearly valuable both for OC storage and climate change mitigation, these ecosystems are under growing natural and anthropogenic pressure with seagrass and saltmarsh extent decreasing annually and marine sediments being regularly disturbed (e.g., trawling, dredging). The loss and disruption of these environments will reduce their ability to capture OC and will facilitate the release of previously buried OC modifying biogeochemical processes in coastal and marine environments, with possible effects on the climate crisis.
To tackle the science questions and fill the policy needs in the field of Blue Carbon, we seek to bring together expertise from across the geosciences (e.g., ecology, biogeochemistry, sedimentology, minerology, spatial modelling). In this multidisciplinary session, we invite presentations from across these disciplines, scales (local, national, and/or global) and across study types (observational, experimental, modelling, and/or theoretical) to discuss recent advances in coastal and marine sedimentary OC research.

The deadline for abstract is the 10th of January but if you are an ECR and want to apply for EGU travel funding please submit your abstract by the 10th of December.
Any question let me know.
