Jorge wrote the (text)book on ocean biogeochemistry. But even more importantly, he was a mentor to so many.
I changed my major and career plans after a summer spent in his group, around his gentle curiosity.
He taught me that science is inseparable from the people who do it. I’ll miss him greatly.

A sad day. Jorge Sarmiento, one of the greats in ocean science, passed away today. Jorge was a model leader; thoughtful, compassionate, and an excellent scientist. His leadership of @soccomproject.bsky.social transformed @bgc-argo.bsky.social into a global system.
