Advancing our Understanding of Ocean Biological Carbon Pumps of the Arctic and Sub-Arctic Seas using Hyperspectral Observations of Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) Mission — This project, which involves remote sensing specialists and oceanographers from universities and government departments, aims to leverage NASA 's PACE mission to improve the accuracy of ocean colour observations, particularly in eastern Canada, to better understand the ocean's capacity to uptake carbon and its changes over time. By enhancing phytoplankton biomass estimation and extracting additional information on phytoplankton properties, the research aligns with objectives to address climate change, foster partnerships, and enhance ocean monitoring efforts critical for ecosystem    health and carbon management.
