Research Scope

•Investigate the marine biogeochemical cycles of essential biogenic elements, including carbon, nitrogen, and iron.

•Examine the fluxes of these elements across land-sea-air interfaces across varying spatial and temporal scales.

•Explore the cycling of macro- and micro-nutrients, focusing on the physical, biological, and chemical mechanisms that regulate these processes.

•Study the structure and functions of marine ecosystems.

•Investigate the processes, impacts, and climate feedback mechanisms of key biological groups, focusing on their roles in biogenic element cycling, oceanic carbon sequestration, and related ecological processes.

•Utilize multi-dimensional intelligent observation techniques to study typical local and regional systems.

•Conduct comprehensive research on marine environmental observation, reconstruction, simulation, and forecasting using integrated and advanced observational methods.

•Investigate the role of marine ecosystems in mitigating climate change.

•Develop innovative strategies to enhance oceanic carbon sinks, advance research on marine health and sustainable development, and optimize approaches that integrate carbon sequestration, biodiversity conservation, and ecological health.
