Our ASMASYS team has reached an important milestone: Its interim synthesis report was published today. The report introduces a comprehensive, unified assessment framework for marine carbon dioxide removal methods (mCDR). It will enable policymakers, scientists, and stakeholders to evaluate and assess the feasibility, effectiveness, environmental and ethical implications of measures and technologies designed to remove carbon from the atmosphere (#CDR) or store captured CO2 deep beneath the ocean floor (#CCS). In addition, the new assessment framework provides a structured approach to decision-making and ensures that proposed initiatives are in line with environmental sustainability goals and societal values.

"I’m happy to share that I’ve published a review on 'Emerging techniques of soil remediation: Nanotechnology and Bioremediation Approaches.' In this paper, I explore the innovative and sustainable solutions that are shaping the future of soil remediation. By examining the roles of nanotechnology and bioremediation, I highlight how these cutting-edge approaches are paving the way for more effective and eco-friendly methods to address soil pollution and promote environmental health." https://lnkd.in/eMz4ZPkX

[Presentation File] Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Applications in Environmental Science and Technology Here, I am sharing my plenary lecture note presented at the most recent Asia Pacific Biochar Conference held in this September. The presentation is a series of Lecture Series on "Machine Learning Applications in SMART biochar system" Biochar: A multi-functional material for environmental solutions Biochar, a carbon-rich material derived from organic waste pyrolysis, has emerged as a versatile solution to pressing environmental challenges. Our group's extensive research in the past two decades has transformed biochar's applications in carbon capture, soil remediation, energy production, and sustainable construction, addressing critical issues like climate change, resource depletion, and pollution. Korea Biochar Research Centre's work in biochar research offers innovative solutions to address critical environmental challenges of our time. https://lnkd.in/gbCmq3pk

ERC Advanced Grant for PowerOfSize (led by prof. dr. Jan Hendriks) This project looks at chemical #pollution, one of the fastest growing environmental problems in the world. Various tools are available to determine the risks of thousands of substances to thousands of plant and animal species, including humans. Unfortunately, due to financial and ethical constraints, the data needed to calibrate these models is often lacking. Previous research has shown that the values of parameters in those models can depend on the size of molecules, regions and organisms. However, that relationship is often not directly proportional: if a city, lake or animal is twice as big, twice as much energy, water or material does not necessarily flow in or out. Professor Jan Hendriks has been awarded an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council (ERC) to extend his research. ERC Advanced Grants are awarded annually to exceptional, innovative and ground-breaking research. The recipients can use this grant to continue their research for the next five years.

Calling all marine researchers! The One Ocean Science Congress is happening in Nice, France, from June 4-6, 2024, and the call for abstracts is now open! 🔔 Submit your abstract by 1 November 2024, 13:00 CET.   This special event, part of the third UN Oceans Conference, is dedicated to bringing comprehensive scientific insights to Heads of State, government officials, and the broader public about the health and future of our oceans. The Congress will feature plenary sessions with keynote speeches, as well as parallel oral and poster presentations. To enhance dialogue between science, society, and policy, townhall panels and roundtables will be held to encourage interaction and engagement with civil society. Aligned with the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, the Congress will focus on the following key themes: Theme 1: Integrating knowledge systems, with a focus on responsibility and respect for the ocean Theme 2: Effectiveness, equitability and safety of ocean-based approaches to reach the mitigation and adaptation goals of the Paris Climate Agreement Theme 3: Protection and restoration of marine and coastal ecosystems to ensure sustainable and equitable management Theme 4: Knowledge of the deep ocean and ways to enable its sustainable use Theme 5: Marine genetic resources: from discovery to equitable access and sharing of associated benefits Theme 6: Transparency in the fisheries sector, including illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing Theme 7: Sustainability, equitability, and safety of ocean-based food systems Theme 8: Marine plastic pollution Theme 9: Environmental footprint of maritime transport and decarbonization of shipping Theme 10: Vibrant science to inform and support ocean action Science-informed decisions should enable the conservation and sustainable use of the Ocean, optimize the solutions it offers, and safeguard the services and benefits it provides to humanity.
