How can we make algae cultivation for aquaculture more carbon neutral? 🌿🐟 PNNL-Sequim researchers may have an answer: couple algae cultivation with marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). In a new paper, the team showed that the acid byproduct of an electrochemical process used to increase ocean alkalinity can be used to grow more algae, faster. Not only are these results a possible boon to the aquaculture industry, but they could also address the need for a sustainable way to use the acid byproduct—a main barrier today to scaling-up some electrochemical mCDR techniques.

Just how much heat does city sprawl add to large-scale warming? 🌇 New work from PNNL researchers suggests that urbanization has a detectable influence on global warming over land, with more to potentially follow as cities continue growing. By incorporating city sprawl into climate models, “we can improve our ability to better estimate regional heat waves,” said Earth scientist Tirthankar "TC" Chakraborty.
