Thursday, 07 April 2016
The 2nd International Workshop on Air-Sea Gas Fluxes: Progress and Future Prospects, will be held at IFREMER in Brest, France, on 6-9 September 2016. This is a highly interdisciplinary workshop aimed at bringing the multiple communities (e.g. in situ, remote sensing and modelling) studying air-sea exchange and gas fluxes together to present and discuss recent advances, and common aims, goals and challenges.

GOA-ON survey: update on the map of Ocean Acidification platforms and observing activities
Thursday, 31 March 2016
The Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network (GOA-ON) seeks community input guiding its development and, specifically, to inform the 3rd GOA-ON Science Workshop in Hobart in May 2016. The community's feedback is sought via a short survey available at http://goo.gl/forms/qAu5bYBSsJ. The survey considers two topics: 1) updates to the GOA-ON map - an interactive representation of OA platforms and observing activities (including biogeochemical sensors), and 2) biological observations that can be used to monitor the impact from OA. Survey respondents can choose to fill out only the sections they find relevant.
Survey responses by 11 April 2016 would be most appreciated. For more information contact the Workshop Co-Chairs, This email address is being protected from spambots.

Modern Observational Oceanography Course, 4-22 July, 2016, St.George's, Bermuda
Tuesday, 08 March 2016
The Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS) has scheduled a Modern Observational Oceanography summer course for July 4 - July 22, 2016. The course integrates lectures, laboratory training, and fieldwork to introduce students to current research questions and the observational methods used to investigate them. Themes will include carbon and nutrient cycling, carbonate chemistry and ocean acidification, ocean-atmosphere interactions, and the spatial/temporal scales of physical ocean processes. This course is open to senior undergraduate and postgraduate students enrolled in oceanography programs.
The BIOS summer course application deadline is April 17th, 2016.
Global synthesis product of seafloor surficial carbonate
Monday, 07 March 2016
We would like to inform you about a new global synthesis product of seafloor surficial carbonate, which follows early work by Archer (1996). To interface with climate and circulation models, ocean substrates data have been gridded from dbSEABED (Information Integration System for Marine Substrates) at the global scale, at a 1/10° resolution. The new mapping suggests lower carbonate contents overall than mapped in earlier works. This may affect modeled budgets for earth-system carbon dioxide and outcomes for ocean acidification.
An Internally Consistent Dataset of δ13C-DIC Data in the North Atlantic Ocean
Thursday, 03 March 2016
We would like to let you know that An Internally Consistent Dataset of δ13C-DIC Data in the North Atlantic Ocean (NAC13v1) is now available for download from CDIAC. The dataset has undergone strict quality control. It includes all in all 6068 samples, originating from oceanographic research cruises that took place between 1981 and 2012. The dataset by Becker et al. is currently under review for publishing in Earth System Science Data (ESSD).

2016 Call for SCOR Working Group Proposals
Wednesday, 17 February 2016
The Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) is accepting proposals for 2016 SCOR Working Groups from now until 17 April 2016. SCOR will approve new working groups at its annual meeting, this year held in Sopot, Poland on 5-7 September 2016.
The 2016 POGO-SCOR Visiting Fellowships programme is now open for applications
Tuesday, 09 February 2016
The Partnership for Observations of the Global Oceans (POGO) and the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) are jointly funding a Visiting Fellowships programme designed to promote training and capacity building leading towards a global observation scheme for the oceans. The Programme has been a success for over fifteen years, with over 160 fellowships awarded since 2001. The fellowship programme is open to scientists, technicians, graduate students (preferably PhD) and post-doctoral fellows involved in oceanographic work at centres in developing countries and countries with economies in transition.
The deadline for the applications for this year is 15th April 2016.
MARIANDA Training Workshop in Kiel, Germany, Spring 2016
Tuesday, 09 February 2016
We would like to inform you that MARIANDA prepares a training workshop for alkalinity and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) measurements in sea water. The workshop will be held on April 25-29, 2016 in Kiel, Germany. The planning of the workshop is in its initial stage and we appreciate any feedback and suggestions.
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…
