About the Café

Café Thorium is not really a café although we have been known to serve espresso & latte throughout the worlds major ocean basins. In fact, we are a serious scientific research team in the Department of Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Thorium is just one of many radioactive elements we measure. We analyze samples for both natural and man made radionuclides.

A pleasure to meet Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey at the @COP28_UAE #OceanPavilion yesterday. Thank you @SenMarkey for your support of #science to tackle the #ClimateCrisis

Carbon dioxide removal will be needed to mitigate the climate crisis and the oceans will play a significant role. Mitigation strategies incl. #OceanIronFertilization will be discussed @COP28_UAE #OceanPavilion 10 Dec, 5pm by @WHOI scientist Ken Buesseler
@Cafe_Thorium @theNASEM

📢#ExOIS is using #GivingTuesday to launch its crowd funding campaign. Show your support by donating towards the mission of using science to explore #OceanIronFertilization for #CDR.

@ExOIS_OceanIron @WHOI Hoping some of you can help us broaden our support for studies of #Ocean iron fertilization by following and donating to ExOIS. We are making the case #COP28 for emissions reductions and CO2 removal, and OIF is worth exploring for #CDR

Want to know what's next for studies of ocean iron fertilization for #ocean #CO2 removal aka #CDR ? Check out the new decadal plan from Exploring Ocean Iron Solutions #ExOIS published out of @WHOI https://oceaniron.org/our-plan/#pathsforward

Want a challenging and rewarding job @WHOI ? check out new project manager position for Exploring Ocean Iron Solutions https://bit.ly/3JAqjtd

Ever wonder what mCDR is all about and why scientists need to be engaged in #climate solutions? read more @AGU_Eos -The Science We Need to Assess Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal

We @ExOIS_OceanIron are in agreement that more science is needed before we deploy ocean CDR at scale. These studies are urgent, but do not replace need for emissions reductions. More from Kerry and D. Ho on Carbon Removal Technologies via @theenergymix
