Meeting List

April 3: Communicating with Journalists* in Atlanta, GA, USA all day  (in advance of the Ocean Visions Summit). To provide ocean CDR scientists with an opportunity to turn their research into compelling messages and to prepare for media and policy communications and engagements, COMPASS will be hosting two science communication training workshops in 2023. The workshops are free for participants and funded by ClimateWorks Foundation. This in-person, full-day workshop will focus on strategically tailoring your messages for media audiences. You’ll have the opportunity to work with professional journalists, who will provide a window into their media ecosystems. COMPASS trainers and journalists will guide you through strategies to hone your media interview skills, refine your messages for the media, and build relationships with journalists.

May 8-12: NASA Earth Science’s Carbon Cycle & Ecosystem (CC&E) focus area will be hosting a Joint Science Workshop. CC&E is an umbrella under which four program elements, including OBB, provide knowledge of the interactions of global biogeochemical cycles and terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems with global environmental change and the implications for Earth’s climate, productivity, and natural resources. This event will bring together community members from each of these four programs and their Applied Sciences counterparts. Plenary talks will address five themes: Future Research Directions, Human Influence on Global Ecosystems, Climate Change Impacts, Research to Applications, and Disturbance, Resilience, Mitigation, & Adaptation. This workshop is planned to be held in person in the College Park, Maryland.

May 8-12: The call for abstracts for the 54th International Liège Colloquium (Liège, Belgium)"Machine learning and data analysis in oceanography" is now open! The colloquium will be in hybrid mode, but we would really like to see you here in person!  Link to terms of reference

May 9-11: Registration is now open for the 2023 DOOS Virtual Annual Meeting - "Exploring collective solutions to global deep-sea challenges.” This years meeting will follow roughly the same schedule as last year with full group sessions Days 1 & 3 (May 9 & 11) from 1100-1500 ET and Day 2 (May 10) split into eight individual, 2-hour breakout sessions spanning from 0900-1700 ET. Please fill out this form to register - https://forms.gle/cqGyBwHxrKmswenp7

During last year's meeting, the community came together to identify focused initiatives to address global challenges in the deep sea. In this year's meeting, we will be focusing on creating collective solutions to scientific and societal needs across communities and disciplines by increasing our global capacity to observe the deep sea. To that end we will kick things off with a plenary from our DOERs and have a special presentation on the Deep Sea Capacity Assessment from the Ocean Discovery League. We are also excited to have several groups co-leading Day 2 breakouts, including DOSI, COBRA, and the Ocean Discovery League. Please join us and contribute your ideas and priorities as we work together to strategically align the deep ocean observing community toward collective solution-based science.

June 5: Communicating with Policymakers* in Washington, DC, USA on June 5, all day (in advance of Capitol Hill Ocean Week). To provide ocean CDR scientists with an opportunity to turn their research into compelling messages and to prepare for media and policy communications and engagements, COMPASS will be hosting two science communication training workshops in 2023. The workshops are free for participants and funded by ClimateWorks Foundation. This in-person, full-day workshop will focus on strategic engagement in the policymaking process and tailoring your messages for a policy audience. You’ll work with experts steeped in the policy worlds relevant to your work. COMPASS trainers and guest experts will guide you through the different ways to strategically engage with policymakers, and you’ll have the opportunity to workshop your messages for a policy audience with the guest experts. 

June 5-18: IOCCP and ICOS OTC (Integrated Carbon Observation System Ocean Thematic Centre) are organizing "Instrumenting our ocean for better observation: a training course on a suite of biogeochemical sensors", a 14-day international training course at the Sven Lovén Center for Marine Infrastructure, in Kristineberg, Sweden.  2023 Training Course (ioccp.org). You can read about the past editions of the course from our website here: www.ioccp.org/index.php/training

June 12-14: NSF-sponsored workshop on use-inspired research. The “Building Bridges to Use-Inspired Research and Science-Informed Practices” workshop series aims to build stronger connections among academic, private, and government partners to translate basic science research into solutions that benefit society. It will consist of two free synchronous online events called MicroLabs (April 14 and May 12), followed by a free in-person three-day workshop June 12-14, 2023. Organizers are especially encouraging participation of graduate students, postdocs and early career professionals.
