Most important scientific accomplishments

I quantified using observations and models that the variability of the oceanic sink for CO₂ could account for a quarter of the observed atmospheric CO₂ variability, which had important consequences for our understanding of the processes regulating the land sink of CO₂ (Le Quéré et al., 2000; Bousquet et al., 2000). I also showed that the Southern ocean sink for CO₂ was decreasing since 20 years (Le Quéré et al., in review), and that the future projections of climate change would further reduce the global CO₂ sink (Sarmiento and Le Quéré, 1996). More recently, I quantified the contribution of marine biology to the glacial-interglacial CO₂ variations (Kohfeld et al., 2005) and identified the important elements of marine ecosystems which need further understanding (Le Quéré et al., 2005).
