We would like to let you know that the third webinar from the new GO₂NE webinar series on deoxygenation will take place on Wednesday, 20 January 2021, at 14:00 –15:00 CET. First, Dr. Laura Ramajo from Centro de Estudios Avanzados en Zonas Aridas (CEAZA) in Chile will give a talk on "The multi-stressor scenario of upwelling and their impacts on the Chilean scallop aquaculture." This will be followed by Christopher J. Gobler, Ph.D. from Stony Brook University in the USA who will talk about "Co-occurrence of hypoxia, harmful algal blooms, and other climate change stressors: Implications for aquatic life." The session will be moderated by Dr Véronique Garçon from LEGOS, France.

This is to let you know that deadline has been extended to 31 January for applications for up to five new members of the IOCCP Scientific Steering Group (SSG) for term beginning in April 2021, replacing colleagues who will rotate of the SSG at that time. New members will be expected to continue and expand the current set of coordination activities within specific IOCCP Themes, as linked to each Position description. Moreover, we seek to expand our SSG composition to: (i) better address the needs for coordination in regions which may have recently had limited direct representation in IOCCP, and (ii) promote outstanding early-career ocean professionals willing to support IOCCP’s mission.

You can view the complete call online below. Please send your applications no later than 31 January 2021. Feel free to contact the IOCCP Office with any related questions you might have. 

As part of a long-term community effort to build the capacity for a program of coordinated observations of CH₄ and N₂O in the marine environment, draft Standard Operating Protocols (SOPs) were produced by an international group of experts. SOPs are open for public consultation until 31 March 2021. After this period of public availability, the SOPs will be published on the Ocean Best Practices Network. The SOPs will be available individually and collectively as a Best Practice Guide for dissolved CH₄ and N₂O measurements, providing an important component to achieving community-wide intercomparability for their measurements in the global ocean.

To access the documents and find more information about other activities stemming from a 2018 US OCB Trace Gas Workshop, please visit this webpage: https://web.whoi.edu/methane-workshop/sops/.
