Ocean Artificial Upwelling – Ecological Responses and Biogeochemical Impacts
Feeding a growing human population and achieving net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050 are the great challenges of the 21st century. Whilst terrestrial resources are already utilized intensively by competing societal sectors, the vast ocean ecosystems still hold untapped potential. The productivity of the ocean is, however, limited by the transport of nutrient-rich deep waters to the sun-lit surface layer. In large parts of the global ocean, this transport is blocked by a temperature-induced density gradient, with warm light waters residing on top of heavier cold waters. The upward transport of nutrient-rich deep waters through artificial upwelling can break this blockade and enhance primary production. However, little is presently known about the ecological responses to forced upwelling in oligotrophic waters, their impacts on biogeochemical cycling and possible feedbacks to the climate system. In view of its potential contribution to securing marine food production and mitigating climate change, a comprehensive assessment of the feasibility, effectiveness, and associated risks of artificial upwelling is of particular scientific and societal interest.
