The SOLAS Summer School is a regular, international event with the goal to provide the multidisciplinary air-sea interaction background to the next generation of Earth System scientists. We are proud to celebrate the 10th SOLAS Summer School, with an expanded immersive three-week programme designed for early career researchers. Participants will explore the complex interactions between the ocean, atmosphere, and climate through a dynamic blend of lectures, hands-on practicals, collaborative student-led projects, all aligned with the SOLAS 3.0 framework “SOLAS Science Towards Solutions.”

SOLAS Summer School 2026 will take place from 9-27 March 2026 at Centro Nacional de Pesquisa e Conservação da Biodiversidade Marinha do Nordeste (CEPENE) in Tamandaré, Pernambuco (PE), Brazil.

To apply for Summer School 2026, please submit your application here by 31 August 2025. For students without access to Google Forms please download the form and email your application to solasschool@xmu.edu.cn.

Please send an email to solasschool@xmu.edu.cn, if you have any questions or need further assistance regarding the Summer School.

Do you do science related to the air-sea interactions? If so, we’d love to hear from you!

Funding agencies often rely on the science community to identify and prioritize leading-edge scientific questions and required observations. NASA and its partners ask the National Research Council (NRC) once every decade to look out 10 years into the future and prioritize research areas, observations, and national missions.

The OCB Ocean Atmosphere Interaction Committee (OAIC) is gathering input and ideas for a white paper focused on our community’s priorities for NASA related air-sea interaction research.

Please fill out the form to share with us your ideas.

Your input and collaboration is critical to this process -a cohesive community voice on research priorities and key observables will be much more likely to garner NASA support for missions, field campaigns, etc. to support air-sea research.

Email oaic@whoi.edu with questions or further ideas.
