Sea2Cloud is an European Research Council (ERC) founded research project studying the interactions between marine microbiology and atmosphere. On this site you can read more about our key scientific questions and the measurements we are doing to solve them. Sea2Cloud is based in Clermont-Ferrand, but our measurements will be performed in New-Zealand and on research vessels in the South-West Pacific Ocean.

In November 2019, we start our first measurements and will start updating this site and our social media.
