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. […]

A quest for change

June 5, 2020

“The only way we can change the geoscience culture is by a massive shift in individual mindsets, with the aim of moving the field from passively non-racist to actively anti-racist.” – Kuheli Dutt (2019) – Nature Geoscience “Racism, injustice and police brutality are awful on their own, but are additionally pernicious because of the brain power […]
