Reducing greenhouse-gas emissions alone does not remove the excess carbon dioxide already present in the atmosphere. This talk surveys marine carbon dioxide removal approaches that use the ocean’s capacity to absorb CO₂ and explains instrumentation for evaluating their effectiveness. David Snyder describes DeepGreen Solutions’ Carbon Ocean-Based Atmospheric Linked Telemetry (COBALT) measurement system, which combines sensors on Sofar Ocean Spotter buoys and Spotter Scout autonomous surface vessels to investigate carbon-cycle processes and the atmospheric removal achieved by marine projects. The session includes questions and discussion.

A 17-month postdoctoral fellowship investigates heat-vulnerability indicators in Jundiaí, Brazil, to inform urban cooling and climate-adaptation decisions. The research combines data analysis, geoprocessing, fieldwork and collaboration with municipal staff. The researcher must be able to reside in Campinas and travel to Jundiaí. Applications close on 8 October 2026; the official selection notice specifies the cover letter, reference and CV requirements.

This specialist meeting examines atmospheric rivers, their impacts on weather and climate, and their connections to water resources and environmental systems. The conference takes place in Porto on 19–23 October 2026. Registration remains open until 10 October 2026; abstract submission has closed.

GHGT-18 is an international forum for carbon capture, utilisation and storage, bringing together scientific research, demonstration projects, business strategy and policy across the CCUS value chain. The programme includes keynote and plenary talks, technical sessions, panel discussions, a business stream, poster sessions and networking, with more than 1,000 delegates expected. IEAGHG organises the conference, co-hosted by Australian Energy Producers, CO2CRC, CSIRO and Geoscience Australia. Registration is currently open for the Perth meeting.
