Using Commercial Shipping to Monitor Carbon Dioxide Levels in the Oceans: A Worldwide Environmental Science Project

The Santa Lachia, a ship from the British port of Southampton, is equipped to measure carbon dioxide levels in the air and ocean. This initiative, led by Dr. UDA Shuster, aims to create a comprehensive database to monitor climate change. By comparing CO2 levels in the sea and air, scientists hope to understand the absorption of CO2 by oceanic plant life. This effort is part of a global project utilizing commercial shipping to enhance environmental science, with similar activities occurring in the Pacific, providing a more accurate global CO2 picture.
