Abstract

The ocean plays an essential role in regulating the global climate, absorbing around 25 % of global CO₂ emissions. Scientific knowledge of the ocean’s capacity as a carbon sink is therefore essential for policy-making at the national and international level. However, the capacity of the existing marine science system to deliver this information at sufficiently high quality, without geographical and temporal gaps, and with equitable contributions by and access for less affluent national science systems, is far from assured. This contribution applies the six guiding principles of Open Science as a yardstick for science in the service of society to assess the current state of marine (carbon) science, pointing out strengths and shortcomings, and deriving specific recommendations for science policy. This contribution results from a three-year interdisciplinary research project with researchers from Brazil and Germany and was discussed within the UN Ocean Decade Program Ocean Acidification Research for Sustainability (OARS) to validate the applicability of insights and recommendations beyond these particular contexts.

开放的海洋科学。从德国、巴西和其他国家海洋碳观测的角度提出的建议

海洋在调节全球气候方面发挥着至关重要的作用，吸收了全球约 25% 的二氧化碳排放量。因此，有关海洋碳汇能力的科学知识对于国家和国际层面的决策至关重要。然而，现有海洋科学系统的能力远不能保证提供足够高质量的信息，不存在地理和时间上的差距，也不能保证较不富裕的国家科学系统公平地贡献和获取这些信息。这篇论文将 "开放科学 "的六项指导原则作为科学服务于社会的标尺，对海洋（碳）科学的现状进行了评估，指出了优势和不足，并对科学政策提出了具体建议。该论文是与来自巴西和德国的研究人员共同开展的一个为期三年的跨学科研究项目的成果，并在联合国海洋十年计划海洋酸化可持续性研究（OARS）范围内进行了讨论，以验证这些见解和建议在这些特定背景之外的适用性。

期刊介绍： Marine Policy is the leading journal of ocean policy studies. It offers researchers, analysts and policy makers a unique combination of analyses in the principal social science disciplines relevant to the formulation of marine policy. Major articles are contributed by specialists in marine affairs, including marine economists and marine resource managers, political scientists, marine scientists, international lawyers, geographers and anthropologists. Drawing on their expertise and research, the journal covers: international, regional and national marine policies; institutional arrangements for the management and regulation of marine activities, including fisheries and shipping; conflict resolution; marine pollution and environment; conservation and use of marine resources. Regular features of Marine Policy include research reports, conference reports and reports on current developments to keep readers up-to-date with the latest developments and research in ocean affairs.
