The Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry (OCB) Program is soliciting proposals for OCB activities that will take place or begin during the 2024 calendar year. We seek proposals for OCB-relevant workshops and activities as follows:
• Topical workshops (50-70 people) that bring together expertise across disciplines to foster discussions and build momentum in new OCB-relevant research areas (previous OCB scoping workshops)
• Working groups (8-12 members) to address targeted science goals and develop products that benefit and engage the broader OCB community
• Training activities (Up to 40 participants, incl. instructors) to build capacity in different areas of OCB research
