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.

@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

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
