Katja Fennel, chair of the oceanography department at Dalhousie University, works on modeling how much carbon Planetary has captured in Halifax Harbour— a number that comes with some uncertainty.She co-leads a group of academics that monitors the company’s project using water samples, sensors and sediment cores taken from locations around the bay. Some days, her team adds a red dye to the pipes to watch how the minerals dissolve and flow out to sea.

They’re also necessary because the ocean is so large and deep it’s impossible to collect enough data to give a complete picture of it.
“We can’t measure everywhere all the time,” she said.Questions also linger about how long the carbon capture will last.
It’s a point especially important to companies working with algae, wood chips, or other organic materials, because depending on where they decompose, they could release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere.
The deeper the plants and algae sink, the longer the carbon stays locked away. But that’s no easy feat to ensure. Running Tide, a now-shuttered company that sank nearly 20,000 metric tons of wood chips in Icelandic waters, said carbon could be sequestered for as long as three millennia or as little as 50 years.When DeBoer was asked Saturday about his conversations with Oettinger since the season ended, the coach said they hadn’t had the opportunity yet to have one.
was later asked if he had any concerns about their relationship, and he responded by saying the whole experience is something he would learn from and that was going to help him grow to be a better person and goalie.“My job is to stop the puck. And I feel like I’m one of the best in the world when I’m playing well doing that. So that’s all I’m in a focus on,” Oettinger said. “All the extra stuff is just extra stuff to me. ... If I go out there next year and I’m the best goalie in the world, it doesn’t matter. One of you guys could be coaching, it doesn’t matter. Just try to be the best I can be, learn from the experience.”
It was the third season in a row the Stars lost in the West final, and Edmonton also knocked them out last year. The Oilers finished the 2024 series with three wins in a row, and this time won the last four after Dallas won the opener.DeBoer said there had been discussions among the coaching staff before Game 4 at Edmonton about whether Oettinger maybe needed a break, and that the goalie had dealt with some upper respiratory issues during the series. While that didn’t happen then, it was at least part of the
