SUMMARY:Carlson Lecture — The Ocean Carbon Sink: Facts\, Fictions\, and Op
 portunities
LOCATION:New England Aquarium\, Simons Theatre\, 1 Central Wharf\, Boston\
 , MA
DESCRIPTION:The Lorenz Center is pleased to present the 2026 John H. Carls
 on Lecture\, in partnership with the New England Aquarium and the Lowell 
 Institute.\n\nFEATURING\nDr. Marina Lévy\nOceanographer and Senior Scient
 ist at the French National Centre for Scientific Research\, LOCEAN–IPSL S
 orbonne Université\n\nCan whales help mitigate human-induced climate chan
 ge? What about mangroves\, kelp forests\, or the trillions of microscopic
  organisms drifting through the ocean and capturing carbon through photos
 ynthesis?\n\nThe ocean absorbs about a quarter of the CO₂ we emit\, so it
  seems natural to imagine that ocean life is doing the work much as fores
 ts do on land. But the real story is more complex.\n\nJoin oceanographer 
 Marina Lévy on an exploration of the ocean’s extraordinary carbon machine
 . From forests on land to underwater forests\, from microscopic phytoplan
 kton to the web of marine life and the global ocean circulation\, we will
  follow carbon through the ocean to discover what actually makes it one o
 f the planet’s great carbon sinks and why that matters as the ocean warms
  and its circulation changes.\n\nAnd if we understand how this remarkable
  machine works\, could we help it absorb even more CO₂? We will explore s
 ome of the emerging ideas for using the ocean to remove carbon from the a
 tmosphere\, along with their promises\, limitations\, and unanswered ques
 tions.\n\nIn person at the Simons Theatre\, Central Wharf\, Boston\n– OR 
 – via live stream with pre-registration.\n\nFree and open to the public.
