Report of the ICES-PICES Working Group on Climate Change and Biologically-driven Ocean Carbon Sequestration (WGCCBOCS)

The Joint ICES/PICES Working Group on Climate Change and Biologically-driven Ocean Carbon Sequestration (WGCCBOCS) has promoted interdisciplinary exchanges among the research communities by bringing together experts who had expertise using observational, experimental and modelling approaches to characterize and assess the biologically-driven ocean carbon pumps and their environmental and climate consequences. The WGCCBOCS had the objective of improving prediction and providing advice for climate policy and adaptation to a changing environment. The WGCCBOCS organized a series of WG meetings and activities to meet its Terms of Reference (ToR). This resulted in a series of review and perspective papers, and three special topics in scientific journals.
