DOME will build an integrated international network of research platforms, using observational, experimental, modeling, and technological approaches to determine deep ocean microbial diversity, ecosystem processes, and ocean’s carrying capacity to sustain climate change.
DOME will (1) co-design and co-develop transdisciplinary research, using molecular technologies to determine the emergent ecosystem properties of the water column and seafloor sediment; (2) use artificial intelligence and genome-enabled, process-based models for assessment and prediction of current and future ecosystem state in facing global climate change; (3) co-develop research capacity and design programs to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion in research communities; (4) build a planet-scale sample-data platform, OceanMicrobe, to provide equal access to samples, knowledge and data to everyone, supporting the sustainable use of ocean genetic resources, and the implementation of the BBNJ Agreement.
