Harnessing Ocean Monitoring Technology for Hazard Mitigation and Carbon Management
This session showcases how ocean monitoring technologies are critical for understanding and mitigating marine hazards. Experts will use real-time data (satellite to autonomous vehicles) to track heatwaves and oil spills. The session explores how this same data monitors the ocean’s carbon budget and informs nature-based climate solutions, like protecting blue carbon ecosystems. This demonstrates the practical application of science and tech for both hazard mitigation and climate change mitigation
