Identifier financieringsorganisatie: 101188028 (EU contract id) Hoofdfinancieringscodes: 3858 - Horizon Europe – Voedsel, bio-economie, Natuurlijke hulpbronnen, landbouw en milieu Acroniem: TRICUSO Periode: Januari 2025 tot December 2028 Status: Gestart
The ocean absorbs about 25 % of the CO2 we emit, helping slow down climate change. However, current ocean carbon measurements don’t match model predictions, creating uncertainty about the ocean’s role in climate regulation. This gap affects our ability to make effective decisions on climate action. More accurate, high-density data from the Southern Ocean could resolve this issue. In this context, the EU-funded TRICUSO project will advance sensing technologies on robotic floats and uncrewed vessels, supporting citizen science on yachts and improving data access for scientists. TRICUSO will also evaluate how many observations are needed and suggest governance structures to support a global greenhouse gas tracking system. This will lead to better climate management.
