We would like to draw your attention to the newest issue of the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) Newsletter #41. Among other things, you can read about the recent SCOR Annual Meeting, approval of new SCOR WG groups (C-GRASS and DeepSeaDecade) and about changes in SCOR Executive Office. On 1 February 2020 Dr. Patricia Miloslavich will assume duties as the new SCOR Executive Director, replacing Dr. Ed Urban who will step down after serving SCOR for 19 years as its Executive Director.
On behalf of all of IOCCP, we would like to congratulate Patricia on her new appointment. In her capacity as project officer of GOOS Biology & Ecosystems Panel, Patricia has helped develop a strong partnership with IOCCP as GOOS Biogeochemistry Panel. We are excited to be able to work closely together with Patricia in her new role as SCOR Executive Director. At the same time, we want to sincerely thank Ed for his long-standing support for oceanic research in general, and in particular for IOCCP in our mission to promote the development of coordinated and sustained marine carbon and biogeochemistry observations. We wish Ed best of luck in his new endeavours.
