The conference will take place on *28 September 2026*at the *Warsaw University of Technology*, * Institute of Heat Engineering*, *T1 Lecture Hall (ground floor)*, ul. Nowowiejska 21/25, 00-665 Warsaw, Poland. Warsaw Soft Matter Day 2026 is intended as a forum for the exchange of ideas among researchers working at the interface of physics, chemistry, materials science, engineering, and related disciplines. The meeting will provide an excellent opportunity to present recent results, discuss ongoing challenges, and strengthen collaborations within the soft matter community. We would be honored by your presence and sincerely hope that you will join us in Warsaw for a day of engaging presentations, insightful discussions, and vibrant scientific exchange. Please note that registration is required in order to participate in the conference. Yours sincerely, on behalf of the Organizing Committee, Tomasz Wac?awczyk, PhD, DSc Eng. *P.S.* Please accept our apologies if you receive this invitation multiple times. *Faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering* Institute of Aeronautics and Applied Mechanics Division of Aerodynamics ul.

In the upper 100 meters (the euphotic zone), phytoplankton convert this dissolved gas into organic matter, which aggregates into sinking particles known as marine snow. This process, called the biological carbon pump, is a critical mechanism for burying carbon on the seabed. Field observations, described by the Martin curve, show that carbon flux drops rapidly with depth, with only about 10% of this material sinking past 200 meters. However, directly measuring this curve is difficult. While indirect methods using radioactive thorium isotopes are widely popular, they present significant inconsistencies. This talk will discuss the issues surrounding thorium-based estimates and present an alternative method based on oxygen distributions, which shows promising agreement with direct measurements. We warmly welcome everyone to attend the talk and the Soft Matter Coffee Break after the seminar, held in room 2.63 (2nd floor).
