Borges, Alberto
Dr

I’m interested in carbon and carbonate cycling in coastal ecosystems with particular emphasis on air-sea exchange of CO₂ and on the coupling between inorganic carbon dynamics and biological processes.

Activities

Research programme:
- SPSD 2: Global change, ecosystems and biodiversity,
- SD: Atmosphere and Climate
Research group: University of Liège - Unité d’Océanographie Chimique
Research projects:
- Belcanto II - Assessing the sensitivity of the Southern Ocean's biological pump to climate change
- Belcanto III - Integrated Study of Southern Ocean Biogeochemistry and Climate Interactions in the Anthropocene
