Thursday, 11 April 2024
We would like to share with you that IAPSO has selected three Best Practice Study Groups, one of which focuses on ‘Calibrating Measurements of Total Dissolved Inorganic Carbon in Seawater’. The main objectives of this Best Practice Study Group are to address the calibration strategies for commonly used instrumentation to measure total dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in seawater, write clear and detailed standard operating procedures (SOPs), assess the reliability and consistency among calibration methods, and suggest technological and commercial solutions to facilitate their implementation.

Call for Nominations: GOOS Steering Committee Experts
Friday, 01 March 2024
We would like to motivate you to consider nominating yourself or a colleague to serve as a Global Ocean Observing System Steering Committee member. The importance of such a role is outlined below, and we just want to add that our biogeochemistry community needs strong leadership on the GOOS SC in order to help inform the international and intergovernmental agendas on our needs and challenges related to fulfilling our roles as ocean and climate observers and analysts. Nominations and self-nominations of Early Career Ocean Professionals will be highly appreciated!
Dissertations Symposium in Chemical Oceanography (DISCO XXIX)
Thursday, 15 February 2024
We are pleased to inform you that applications are now being accepted for this year's Dissertations Symposium in Chemical Oceanography (DISCO XXIX) to be held 19-24 October 2024 in Lihue, Kauaʻi, Hawaiʻi. This symposium is for recent graduates or soon to graduate PhD-level scientists working on chemical oceanography related topic, who are interested in pursuing a career in academia or research laboratories.

Changes in the IOCCP Scientific Steering Group and the Project Office
Friday, 09 February 2024
Efficacy, timeliness and impact of the coordination and communication services we provide depends to a large degree on the willingness and availability of experts in our community to lead thematic elements of our portfolio. This is a voluntary service which, more often than not, demands engagement outside of working hours, outside of working days and sometimes outside of the direct expertise of those providing it. These Heroes need to be recognized and properly acknowledged, therefore in this message we would like to inform you about a few recent changes in the composition of the IOCCP Panel and Office. We take this opportunity to thank those rotating off and to welcome those assuming new roles.

Declaration on Operationalising the Surface Ocean Carbon Value Chain
Monday, 08 January 2024
We would like to share with you the Oostende Declaration in which the 100+ ocean experts and stakeholders call for concerted international and intergovernmental efforts to create a robust, resilient and sustainable surface ocean carbon observing system.
The text of the declaration is available here: Declaration on Operationalising the Surface Ocean Carbon Value Chain
The IOCCP promotes the development of a global network of ocean carbon observations for research through technical coordination and communication services, international agreements on standards and methods, and advocacy and links to the global observing systems. The IOCCP is co-sponsored by the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research and the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO. Read more…
