OCB2021 was an interactive series of online events with early career activities, interactive panel discussions, virtual poster sessions, and opportunities for networking and socializing throughout the month of June. Thank you to everyone who attended, presented, spoke, joined discussions, led topics, developed sessions, and made OCB2021 a successful summer workshop! It was our largest attendance […]

On June 28-30, 2021, MBARI, OCB, and US CLIVAR co-hosted a virtual community workshop to: Introduce the new NSF-funded GO-BGC program to the global scientific community Discuss and innovate on scientific applications of GO-BGC data Provide background information on the flow of data and archiving Deliver hands-on tutorials and computer code for accessing GO-BGC data […]

NOAA Press Release Piloting Bio-GO-SHIP on US cruises: Towards a global analysis of large-scale changes to ocean plankton systems NOAA’s Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing Program (GOMO) and Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS), in partnership with NASA Ocean Biology and Biogeochemistry Program, recently awarded $500,000 via the National Ocean Partnership Program (NOPP) to several institutions […]

Virtual Workshop on the New Global Ocean Biogeochemistry (GO-BGC) Array – Building a Community of Biogeochemical Float Data Users The Global Ocean Biogeochemistry (GO-BGC) array is a 5-year effort funded by the US National Science Foundation to produce and deploy 500 profiling floats equipped with biogeochemical sensors in the world ocean.  Deployments will begin in […]

Now available: Ocean Sciences Across the Solar System NASA report. Submit your comments by July 30. SUMMARYThe discovery that there are major oceans beyond Earth is exciting for Earth oceanographers and planetary scientists alike. As life on Earth began in the ocean, these other worlds offer tantalizing possibilities of finding life beyond our own planet. […]

The OCB “Filling the gaps in observation-based estimates of air–sea carbon fluxes” working group will be holding a two day online meeting May 26 and 27. May 26 will have a range of presentations and is open to all interested attendees. Register here. Wednesday, May 26, 11:00-16:00 EDT Who: Working group members and open webinar […]

Integrated Ocean Carbon Research: A Summary of Ocean Carbon Knowledge and a Vision for Coordinated Ocean Carbon Research (IOC-R) and Observations for the Next Decade The UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) has just published the “Integrated Ocean Carbon Research: A Summary of Ocean Carbon Knowledge and a Vision for […]

This compilation consists of measurements of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and other chemical and hydrographic parameters obtained during the global ocean observations from 1994-01-01 to 2019-12-31. Measurements of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the open ocean have increased greatly since the late 1980’s, spurred by the growth in scientific interest directed at the ocean carbon […]

The U.S. Interagency Working Group on Ocean Acidification is engaging in efforts to increase the resilience of the production and distribution of reference materials for the quality control of measurements of seawater CO2 system parameters. Currently, there is a single source of reference materials for total alkalinity, dissolved inorganic carbon, and pH in seawater and […]
