"Sustained ocean observing for the next decade"
A combined GO-SHIP/Argo/IOCCP conference on physical and biogeochemical measurements of the water column
14-18 September 2015
Galway, Ireland
The conveners have great pleasure in announcing a science meeting to bring together participants in GO-SHIP, Argo and IOCCP, with the particular purpose of reviewing and stimulating further research that exploits the synergies among the sponsoring programs. The conference website highlights some science themes that span the programs, and some questions that might be addressed during the conference. Ultimately the scope and content of the conference will be determined around the abstracts submitted.
Information on abstracts submission, registration, venue, accommodation, travel, program and more will be posted on the website as it becomes available. The number of registrations will be limited to 170, so early registration is recommended when registration and abstract submission open in February 2015.
Please feel free to advertise the conference widely in your institutions and among colleagues in related research programs.
