Coastal habitats are critically important to humans, but without consistent and reliable observations we cannot understand the direction and magnitude of unfolding changes in these habitats. Environmental monitoring is therefore a prescient—yet still undervalued—societal service, and no effort better exemplifies this than the work conducted within the National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS). NERRS is […]

Moore Foundation to co-sponsor OCB workshop Oceanic Methane and Nitrous Oxide: The present situation and future scenarios!  This three-day workshop will address chemical analysis, microbial metabolism, and our observational and predictive capabilities. Applications are now closed. The workshop will take place October 28-31, 2018 at the UCLA Lake Arrowhead Conference Center (California, USA). Important links: […]

The application is open for the new OCB Workshop: Synthesis and intercomparison of ocean carbon uptake in CMIP6 models. The workshop will take place December 8-9, 2018 in Washington, DC.

The new OCB Working Group “Towards a better understanding of fish contribution to carbon flux” now has 14 members and is getting started on the following goals: 1) Synthesize the existing research on fish carbon flux; 2) Recognize challenges in measuring fish carbon flux and discuss approaches to resolve them; 3) Develop research priorities to […]

Thank you to all members of the SOLAS and OCB communities who submitted such high-quality nominations for the new subcommittee on Ocean-Atmosphere Interactions. We received a total of 28 nominations. A small committee of scientists from the OCB and SOLAS scientific leadership independently reviewed all of the nomination packages and then engaged in an open […]
