We are excited to share with you an online version of the IOCCP - BONUS INTEGRAL Training Course on a Suite of Biogeochemical Sensors. Thanks to the Ocean Teacher Global Academy (OTGA), a project of IOC/IODE (International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO), we have uploaded slides and many hours of video recordings covering the entire theoretical part of the course. The online materials are available freely and openly via the professional education platform of OTGA here: https://classroom.oceanteacher.org/course/view.php?id=394. Use the 'login as guest' option to access without registration.

We encourage you to send us feedback on the course materials so that we know if these are useful to you, and also how we can improve the course in the future. Please spread the news among your networks, and if you're on Twitter, use the hashtag #SensorsTraining2019 along with @ioccp_org and @BonusIntegral.

At the same time, we are happy to share with you the just published Eos article on "Training the next generation of marine biogeochemists" in which the course organizers share their perspectives on the experience and anticipated impact of the training course held in June in Sweden. If you're keen on learning more about this technical capacity building initiative, check out the course website at: http://www.ioccp.org/2019-training-course

We would like to let you know that the various presentations and recommendations of the 8^th Biogeochemical Argo Data Management meeting (Villefranche-sur-Mer, October 14-15, 2019) are now available to view and download from the website here: http://biogeochemical-argo.org/past-meetings-2019-admt20.php

We would like to let you know that the first near-real time data streams from time-series stations in South America are now available online on the Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network (GOA-ON) Data Portal. Biogeochemical (oxygen, pH) and associated hydrographic data are available from two Chilean stations: Tongoy Balsa mooring in the Coquimbo region, managed by the Center for Advanced Studies in Arid Zones (CEAZA); and the Seno del Reloncaví mooring in northern Patagonia near Puerto Montt, managed by the University of Los Lagos i-mar Center. Data access was facilitated by the CEAZA Met regional system. GOA-ON is working with Chilean partners to integrate data from other stations in the upcoming months. If you are interested in having your ocean acidification data visualized on the GOA-ON Data Portal, please contact the GOA-ON Secretariat at This email address is being protected from spambots.
