Read MoreThis workshop, held March 4-5, 2019 at Rutgers University, was attended by 14 researchers from 11 different institutions. The workshop focused on synthesizing the existing research on fish carbon flux, discussing challenges in measuring fish carbon flux, and determining approaches for estimating fish contribution to carbon flux on variable scales. Presentations and discussions were specifically […]
Read MoreThe Symbiosis in Aquatic Systems Initiative of the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation is soliciting pre-applications for investigator awards. Investigators will be selected based on their potential to conduct research that illuminates how aquatic symbioses involving microbes function, and how these interactions shape ecology and evolution in marine and freshwater habitats. The deadline for submitting […]
Read MoreNew short video about trace gases and the 2018 Methane & Nitrous Oxide workshop! In October 2018, an Ocean Carbon & Biogeochemistry (OCB)-sponsored workshop addressed questions to help determine the future directions of methane and nitrous oxide measurements in the global oceans. The workshop was designed to sit at the interface between laboratory analysis of […]
Read MoreGlobal Ocean Data Analysis Project (GLODAP) version 2 includes data from approximately one million individual seawater samples collected from almost 800 cruises carried during the years 1972-2013. Extensive quality control and subsequent calibration were carried out for salinity, oxygen, nutrient, carbon dioxide, total alkalinity, pH and chlorofluorocarbon data. Following calibration, the data were used to […]
