The IOCS-2023 Planning Committee
One of the challenges facing large research programs is the ability to manage and archive datasets. In this panel we will gather experts with experience in data management for oceanographic research programs and hear about their experiences. We will have a discussion with the community about the challenges they have faced and what challenges an interdisciplinary program like BioGeoSCAPES will face. Audience participation will be invited to collect ideas from the community using online tools. A future webinar will be focused on data integration and management strategies. Together these webinars will help contribute to a workshop on data management and informatics.
Overall Theme: What can we learn from other ocean, data-rich programs to help create a successful international BioGeoSCAPES data model?
As part of a formal program review process, the Ocean Carbon & Biogeochemistry (OCB) Project Office in partnership with SustainaMetrix and the agencies that support OCB are gathering feedback on the impacts and effectiveness of the OCB Program, both from a scientific and a programmatic perspective. You have been selected to participate based on your affiliation with OCB or network linkage with an OCB partner organization. While your participation is entirely voluntary, we hope that you are willing to complete this survey. It should require between 15-20 minutes. By completing the survey, your feedback will greatly assist the OCB Program to more effectively assess its impact to date and help to shape a trajectory into the future to better serve the needs and interests of the community.
All data collected from this survey will remain confidential and will be essential to informing future directions, activities, and agency investments. All data submitted will be used in the survey analysis. SustainaMetrix will collect the data, conduct raw data compilation, and the synthesis will be made available to the general public through a published Story Map in late Fall 2023. Please note that you have the option of providing your name if you would like the Project Office to follow up with you on a specific issue. Please complete by July 20, 2023.
By completing this survey, you give your consent to participate in this assessment process. If you have any questions or concerns about this survey, please contact Heather Benway, (Executive Officer, OCB Project Office) at hbenway@whoi.edu.
Join us on Tuesday, July 11 at 10 am ET for the next Benthic Ecosystem and Carbon Synthesis (BECS) Working Group Webinar, theme is Benthic Organisms and Biogeochemistry.

Please join us on June 20th, 10 am Pacific/1 pm Eastern for the quarterly GO-BGC/BGC-Argo webinar, hosted by the US Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry Project Office. This webinar will include two presentations on new tools for BGC-Argo data access and visualization. Dr. Reiner Schlitzer will present on webODV, a new online tool based on Ocean Data View that can be used to visualize, explore, and export BGC-Argo data through a GUI interface. Hartmut Frenzel will present on the One-Argo toolbox, an open source toolbox designed to efficiently access, process, and visualize BGC, Core, and Deep Argo data. Float data can be searched using a variety of criteria including sensor type, location, and date. Recordings will be available on the OCB and GO-BGC websites.

We are pleased to invite applications for the new C-CoMP Faculty Fellow Program. The C-CoMP Faculty Fellow Program supports researchers whose lines of inquiry complement C-CoMP's scientific and education research agendas. We strongly value diversity and encourage people from minoritized and marginalized groups to apply. The Faculty Fellowship will provide one month of salary ($40K, including benefits and institutional indirect costs) per year for up to 2 years to support research and networking activities that advance C-CoMP's mission in a manner consistent with our guiding principles. Faculty Fellows are expected to participate in C-CoMP meetings and working groups, and are encouraged to contribute to C-CoMP's goals in education, outreach, and diversity.
Individuals must have a PhD and be employed at a US-based institution as research- or tenure-track faculty and researchers currently affiliated with -CoMP laboratories are not eligible. C-CoMP is committed to promoting equity and inclusion in ocean science research to enhance diversitv in the ocean science workforce. We seek to amplifv voices and perspectives from historically marginalized groups, including underrepresented racial and ethnic minorities as well as from individuals who would bring other dimensions of diversity to ocean science (e.g., sexual, gender, ableness, socioeconomic). We strongly encourage individuals from traditionally minoritized and marginalized backgrounds to apply.
Individuals should provide a curriculum vitae (up to 5 pages) and a research statement (up to 2 pages) that articulates specific complementary benefits of participation to the applicant and C-CoMP. In our research statement, please include 1-2 sentences expressing your commitment to the C-CoMP guiding principles. We also request that individuals submit a voluntary self identification data sheet. Combine application materials into a single pdf file and email to contact_c-comp@whoi.edu (CC Sofia Ibarrarán-Viniegra, sibarraran@whoi.edu) with the subject line FF2023_lastname. Applications will be accepted until June 15, 2023. Fellows will be notified of their appointments in mid-August. Please visit the C-CoMP Faculty Fellow Program webpage to learn more!
A GO-BGC/BGC-Argo Float Data Workshop will be held August 21-23, 2023 at UMass Boston, USA. The format of the workshop will be a hands-on exercise with open practices, inclusive participation, and thoughtful problem exploration. Attendees will generate research ideas utilizing Biogeochemical Argo float data and start working on projects as teams. This will be an active experience designed to familiarize participants with float data analysis techniques, illustrate scientific applications of float data, facilitate collaboration among diverse participants, and develop new tools for data analysis.
Workshop participants will be staying in the student dorms at UMass Boston. Rooms will be single occupancy with private bathrooms. Your room, breakfast and lunch for the workshop will be covered as part of the GO-BGC NSF Grant. Some travel awards are available for domestic travel to and from the workshop with a focus on early career participants.
The workshop is designed for in-person participation due to the collaborative nature of the projects. Some content will be recorded.
Applications are now open. Evaluation of applications and travel award requests will begin on 20 May 2023.

Are you interested in contributing to the development of the international BioGeoSCAPES science plan?
The NSF-funded Accelnet Development of an International Network for the Study of Ocean Metabolism and Nutrient Cycles on a Changing Planet (BioGeoSCAPES) will convene an international BioGeoSCAPES science planning workshop on 6-9 November 2023 at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (with hybrid option).
The objectives of this workshop are to:
In-person participation will be capped at ~80 people with representation across nations, disciplines, etc., to ensure that we are able to have focused discussions that will inform the delivery of the workshop goals. There will also be a series of virtual brainstorming sessions spanning different time zones leading up to the workshop to enable even broader input ahead of the workshop. Partial travel stipends will be available on an as-needed basis, and more details will be provided as the date draws closer. The workshop application will open in mid-late Spring 2023.
Please visit the newly updated BioGeoSCAPES website, join the email list, and follow us on Twitter to stay in the loop!
In person registration is full, we are still accepting applications for virtual participation.
