We seek proposals for OCB-relevant workshops and activities as follows: Scoping workshops (~50-70 people) that bring together an appropriate body of expertise to foster discussions and build momentum within a specific OCB research area (previous OCB scoping workshops) Working groups (~8-12 members) to address targeted science goals/questions and develop products that benefit and engage the […]

OCB is seeking nominations for new Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) members. The following SSC members are scheduled to rotate off at the end of 2022: Seth Bushinsky (UH) – chemical oceanography, carbon cycle, oxygen cycle, air-sea gas exchange, autonomous vehicles Jaime Palter (URI) – physics-biogeochemistry, ocean C and heat uptake, WBCs, autonomous assets Patrick Rafter […]

GO-BGC webinar series Register for January 31 webinar Hundreds of Biogeochemical (BGC) profiling floats have been deployed worldwide, and the number of floats is expected to continue to increase in the coming years. Specifically, the Global Ocean Biogeochemistry Array (GO-BGC) is a NSF Mid-Scale Research Infrastructure project that is funded to deploy 500 BGC floats […]

On behalf of the GLODAP Reference Group, and hundreds of seagoing oceanographers that tirelessly have collected data all over the ocean, we are happy to announce the publication of GLODAPv2.2022. The Global Ocean Data Analysis Project (GLODAP, www.glodap.info) data product provides access to quality controlled surface to bottom ocean biogeochemical data, with an emphasis on […]

The U.S. Federal Government is soliciting nominations for members of the Ocean Research Advisory Panel (ORAP) who represent the views of (1) ocean users, State, Tribal, territorial or local governments, academia, and such other views as the Co-Chairs of the Ocean Policy Committee consider appropriate; and (2) members eminent in the fields of marine science, […]

NASA’s Carbon Cycle & Ecosystems (CC&E) focus area will be hosting the next Joint Science Workshop (JSW) on May 8-12, 2023 at The Hotel in College Park, MD. NASA’s CC&E focus area is an umbrella under which four program elements (Land-Cover and Land-Use Change, Ocean Biology and Biogeochemistry, Terrestrial Ecology, and Biological Diversity) provide knowledge […]

The South Korean Research vessel R.V. Isabu is carrying annual research cruises to the Seychelles-Chagos Thermocline Ridge in the Indian Ocean.  The cruises on this state-of-the-art vessel will run until at least 2026. The potential exists for US PIs to participate in these cruises. See the Science Plan for the Korea-US inDian Ocean Scientific (KUDOS) […]

SOCATv2022 is now available via www.socat.info! The ocean absorbs a quarter of the global CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions from human activity. The community-led Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas (www.socat.info)is key for the quantification of ocean CO2 uptake and its variation, now and in the future. SOCAT version 2022 has quality-controlled in situ surface ocean fCO2(fugacity of […]

Dear NASA PIs – We wanted to bring an important topic to your attention: the NASA EOS era is coming to a close. Terra and Aqua are aging spacecrafts, and while they are still collecting valuable data and producing critical products, the number of spacecraft anomalies is increasing, especially over the past year. The missions are […]
