The position is part of the CDRmare research mission within the sea4soCiety blue carbon consortium. The aim of this one year position is to expand the existing model UVic ESM to assess the potential of the free floating sargassum for Carbon Dioxide Removal. Using literature values and measured carbon and nutrient uptake and remineralization rates of Sargassum under different environmental conditions, you will modify the parameterization of an existing marine biogeochemical model that includes large-scale offshore macroalgae mariculture (Wu et al., 2023) and is embedded in an Earth system model of intermediate complexity, UVic (Mengis et al., 2020; Keller et al., 2012). You will conduct historical, present-day, and future climate change scenario simulations(high and low climate change), where Sargassum sinking is artificially enhanced before reaching the Caribbean coast, to estimate the carbon uptake of floating Sargassum. You will investigate the fate of sunken biomass by varying the rates at which it is remineralized, (i.e., a sensitivity analysis to evaluate uncertainties that result from limited information on Sargassum remineralization rates). Overall, these simulations will provide a first indication for the feasibility and effectiveness of enhanced sinking of Sargassum for marine CDR. Please see https://jobs.awi.de/Vacancies/1322/Description/2 or contact Dr. Mar Fernández-Méndez (mar.fernandez-mendez@awi.de; +49(471)4831-1895) for further information. This is a full-time position, limited to 1 year. It is also suitable for part-time employment.

Eden GeoPower Inc. “Eden” is developing electro-hydraulic fracturing technologies to increase the recovery of subsurface resources. Our goal is to develop sustainable electric stimulation methods to decrease water use, underground water contamination, wastewater production, air pollution, and induced seismicity associated with current hydraulic stimulation methods. The Geochemist will work primarily in a laboratory environment investigating geochemical processes in the geothermal-, mining-, geologic H2-, and CO2 sequestration industries. The individual will lead the geochemistry component of our laboratory and field-scale investigations, conduct analysis of geochemical datasets for geothermal exploration, and collaborate on projects for geologic H2 and in-situ mineral recovery.

Banyu Carbon, Inc. Seattle, Washington USA Banyu Carbon aims to radically reduce the cost of carbon capture, hasten the transition to a net zero carbon economy, and slow the effects of global warming. Decarbonizing the global economy is the Apollo Moon Shot of this century. In addition to widespread adoption of renewable energy, every serious plan to keep global temperatures below dangerous limits requires carbon dioxide removal at the scale of billions of tons per year. However, there is a giant gap between this pressing need for carbon removal and existing technology. To meet this challenge, Banyu Carbon is developing a process to extract CO2 from seawater using light-activated chemicals that is projected to require a fraction of the energy inputs compared to competing carbon capture methods. Banyu Carbon is a fast-paced research and technology development startup located on the campus of a major research university. Gain experience bringing science to market.
