🧪Research & Science

Research Repository

As a leading private sector organization working on marine-based carbon dioxide approaches, Running Tide has a number of active research projects that are currently ongoing. These range from small, bench-scale projects, to large-scale research in the open ocean.

In line with our Governance Principles and the AGU Ethical Framework for Responsible Climate Intervention, Running Tide is committing to sharing data from our research projects that allow for transparency and the independent evaluation of project results.

Regarding our larger-scale open ocean projects currently being conducted out of Iceland, Running Tide has established a data-sharing and consultation process with relevant government agencies in Iceland.

We will continue to upload additional information and results to this page in the coming weeks and months. As a starting point, several initial documents are available below:
