Summary

AIMS scientists are quantifying the amount of groundwater flowing from the land to the Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia to help understand the viability of blue carbon storage solutions to reduce the impacts of climate change. Groundwater is freshwater beneath the earth's surface that fills cracks and spaces in soil and rock, like water in a sponge. The scientists are investigating how the carbon and nutrients from the groundwater influence carbon storage through seaweed growth and decay.
