SEMINARIO SOBRE CICLO DEL CARBON

"Ongoing fundamental changes in the oceanic and terrestrial carbon cycles"

The oceanic uptake of CO2 has slowed and the terrestrial biosphere uptake
has increased since ~1990 with major implications for our understanding of
the global carbon cycle and ability to predict the future fate of
anthropogenic carbon.

Dr. Jorge L. Sarmiento is a Professor of Geosciences at Princeton
University. Dr. Sarmiento's primary research interests are in the oceanic
cycles of climatically important chemicals such as carbon dioxide, and in
the use of chemical tracers to study ocean circulation. Ongoing research
includes the use of ocean general circulation models to estimate uptake of
anthropogenic CO2, and the use of atmospheric general circulation models
constrained with atmospheric CO2 observations to estimate transport of CO2
in the atmosphere. He is working in conjunction with ocean biologists to
develop ecosystem models for predicting photosynthetic uptake of carbon in
the surface ocean, as well as remineralization of organic matter in the
deep ocean. Dr. Sarmiento has participated in the scientific planning and
execution of many of the large scale multi-institutional and international
oceanographic biogeochemical and tracer programs of the last two decades,
including the Geochemical Ocean Sections Study program, the Transient
Tracers in the Oceans program, and the South Atlantic Ventilation
Experiment. He is active in the ongoing World Ocean Circulation
Experiment, Joint Global Ocean Flux Study, and International
Geosphere-Biosphere Program. He served on the Climate Research Committee
and Committee on Oceanic Carbon of the National Research Council, as well
as on the Advisory Committee of Ocean Sciences of the National Science
Foundation. He was on the editorial board of the Journal of Marine
Research, Climate Dynamics, and Global Biogeochemical Cycles.
