Nominations open for OCB SSC (Scientific Steering Committee) until November 14

Posted by mmaheigan 
· Tuesday, September 13th, 2022 

OCB is seeking nominations for new Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) members. The following SSC members are scheduled to rotate off at the end of 2022:

  • Seth Bushinsky (UH) – chemical oceanography, carbon cycle, oxygen cycle, air-sea gas exchange, autonomous vehicles
  • Jaime Palter (URI) – physics-biogeochemistry, ocean C and heat uptake, WBCs, autonomous assets
  • Patrick Rafter (UCI) – chemical oceanography, paleoceanography
  • Charlie Stock (NOAA/GFDL) – interactions between climate and marine ecosystems using global earth system models

We are especially interested in filling the following expertise gaps:

  • Paleoceanography, including deep time perspectives on ocean biogeochemical cycles and marine ecosystems
  • Air-sea gas exchange
  • Global modeling
  • Role of fishes and other higher trophic level or commercially exploited species in carbon cycling and marine food webs
  • Ocean oxygen cycling, deoxygenation, hypoxia
  • Mixotrophs and mixotrophy
  • Social science perspectives on marine ecosystem response to climate change
  • Marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) – carbon fluxes, permanence, circulation, air-sea exchange, monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV), as well as environmental justice

Please consider casting a diverse net in submitting nominations. We are seeking to entrain new voices and ideas in OCB! Nominees should be at US-based institutions (including Univ. Puerto Rico, Univ. Virgin Islands or in other US territories, minority-serving institutions, including historically Black colleges and universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, tribal colleges and universities, etc.). Please submit your nomination (self-nominations are welcome) here by November 14. To learn more about what the OCB SSC is/does, please visit the SSC page of the OCB website.
