Abstract

In order to define Blue Carbon more accurately, we investigated a new concept, namely, Urban Blue Carbon, which is composed of complex components produced by cities and urban areas. For this research, we conducted a field study to measure the CO2 absorption and fixation volume of Urban Blue Carbon. The field study is conducted in Kanazawa Bay, Yokohama’s coastal area. We studied the CO2 concentration in seawater and the influential factors, and investigate their relationships. An overview of the research, its schedule, and location are provided below.
