Eruption and Emissions Take Credit for Ocean Carbon Sink Changes

by Eileen Hofmann 3 June 202028 February 2023

A new model explains why the ocean’s capacity to take up carbon was reduced on a decadal scale, by accounting for reduced pCO2 emissions and ocean state changes due to the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo.
