We would like to kindly remind you that the application for the OceanObs’29 Program Committee deadline is approaching on 31 May 2025.

We are excited to announce that 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 has been officially recognized as a commitment at the UN Ocean Conference 2025.

We would like to inform you that an international data workshop on the role of biology in storing carbon in the ocean has been announced. This workshop is organised as part of the UK NERC BIO-Carbon research programme, with the support of the Marine Biogeochemistry Forum from the Marine Alliance for Science and Technology for Scotland (MASTS). The workshop is planned to take place on 2-4 March 2026 in Glasgow (UK), immediately after Ocean Sciences 2026.

The workshop will bring together scientists from around the world, to pool data on key processes and to determine how we should go about capturing those processes in the next generation of climate models. A major aim of the workshop is to bring modellers, observationalists and experimentalists together to co-design roadmaps for how this should happen.
