SOLAS 3.0 Science Plan and Task Group Proposals

Call for SOLAS 3.0 Task Group Proposals Now Open SOLAS is pleased to announce a new Call for SOLAS 3.0 Task Group Proposals. As part of the implementation of the SOLAS 3.0 Science Plan, Task Groups provide a small, focused, and time-limited mechanism for the SOLAS community to address specific scientific needs, gaps, or opportunities […]

Official Launch of the SOLAS 3.0 Science Plan (2026–2035)

Entering its third decade, SOLAS stands at the intersection of science and society. With its expertise in air–sea processes, SOLAS is in an exceptional position to integrate the oceanographic and atmospheric communities and advise on essential mitigation and adaptation strategies. Built from strong community input and assembled by over 40 co-authors, the plan is designed […]

Register for the 7th DMS(P) Symposium: Sulfur Carbon Nexus in the SOLAS Sphere

A joint workshop with SCOR, SOLAS, and Schmidt Sciences: Climate October 12-15, 2026 in person at Bigelow Laboratory (Boothbay Harbor, Maine) and online. The organosulfur compound dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) ignited an entire subfield of biogeochemistry to investigate the precursor of the “anti-greenhouse gas” dimethylsulfide (DMS). Since then, decades of research have unveiled the importance of DMS(P), […]

Call for Papers: SOLAS–OLAR Special Section on Greenhouse Gas Budgets Across the Land–Ocean Continuum

SOLAS and Ocean–Land–Atmosphere Research (OLAR) are pleased to invite submissions to a special section entitled “Greenhouse Gas Budgets Across the Land–Ocean Continuum” throughout 2026. Greenhouse gas (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide) uptake, production and emission rates in near-coastal systems remain highly uncertain, yet their quantification is crucial to both adequately assess domestic and global inventories […]
