As a cross-disciplinary, cross-institutional organization, the Ocean Carbon & Biogeochemistry (OCB) Program is conducting this brief survey to understand the current diversity of people in the OCB network and gather feedback on how we can increase support of and engagement with scientists from underrepresented groups in OCB-related careers. While we do intend to share summaries […]
Read MoreLast September, OCB organized an NSF EarthCube-funded meeting focused on shipboard ocean time series data (meeting report). One of the key recommendations that emerged from this workshop was the need for a sustained activity such as a research coordination network (RCN) focused on developing ecological and biogeochemical data and metadata standards and broadening users of […]
