Description of scientific projects
Kroeger (CMS 2022): An Alkalinity and Inorganic Blue Carbon Monitoring System: Crediting Wetland-to-Ocean Lateral Fluxes in Carbon Markets and Inventories. https://cce.nasa.gov/ocean_biology_biogeochemistry/details.html?itemID=4880&itemType=project&itemProgID=8&itemName=Kroeger%20(CMS%202022). This project has a national scope to synthesize knowledge and data across 10+ long term research sites measuring alkalinity and carbon exports from tidal wetlands to sea, and potential for long term retention.
mCDR 2023: Tidal wetlands as a low pH environment for accelerated and scalable olivine dissolution https://cce.nasa.gov/ocean_biology_biogeochemistry/details.html?itemID=4880&itemType=project&itemProgID=8&itemName=Kroeger%20(CMS%202022). This research examines a unique approach to ocean alkalinity enhancement and marine carbon dioxide removal, by integrating enhanced mineral weathering within thin layer placement ecosystem conservation projects.
Sea level rise and carbon cycle processes in managed coastal wetlands https://www.usgs.gov/centers/whcmsc/science/sea-level-rise-and-carbon-cycle-processes-managed-coastal-wetlands. This is a broad research program investigating wetland responses to sea level rise, and approaches to enhance their climate change mitigation function.
