The lab uses computation to reproduce marine ecosystems and material cycles and to explore how they change.
AboutAbout the lab
Uncovering how the ocean circulates carbon
The lab of Associate Professor Akitomo Yamamoto studies changes in marine ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles associated with climate change and human activities.
The ocean stores far more carbon than the atmosphere or land, and is thought to have played a major role in past changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide.
The present-day ocean absorbs about a quarter of the carbon dioxide emitted by human activities.
The lab runs numerical simulations of past, present, and future climate states and interprets the results together with observational data and paleoenvironmental data.
Key terms
- Biogeochemical cycles
- The movement of substances such as carbon and nitrogen among the ocean, atmosphere, and land
- Biological pump
- The process by which carbon at the ocean surface is carried to deeper waters through the activity of plankton and other organisms
- Nutrients
- Substances such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and iron that plankton need in order to grow
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to clarify how marine ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles change under climate change and human activities. It conducts numerical simulations and combines them with observational data and paleoenvironmental data.
