OCB Diversity Assessment –

October 15, 2020

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 […]

OCB to lead NSF-funded EarthCube Research Coordination Network for Marine Ecological Time Series (METS RCN)

October 1, 2020

Last 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 […]

Building a Community of Practice for OOI Biogeochemical Sensor Datasets

September 22, 2020

The NSF- funded Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) deploys sensors that measure key biogeochemical properties (pH, pCO2, bio-optics, nitrate, dissolved oxygen) on both moored and mobile autonomous platforms across arrays in the Atlantic, Pacific and Southern Oceans. These sensors provide enormous potential to support the oceanographic community in studying a wide range of important interdisciplinary questions. […]
