SUMMARY:2022 MBARI EARTH Teacher Workshop
DESCRIPTION:EARTH uses near-real-time data from ocean observatories to design and test outreach with the Internet as an interface to scientists\, teachers\, students\, and the public. \nThe 2022 workshop will be held in Seattle\, WA\, co-hosted by the Global Ocean Biogeochemistry Array (GO-BGC)\, a project funded by the US National Science Foundation to build and deploy a global network of chemical and biological sensors that will monitor ocean health. This new network of floats will collect data on the chemistry and the biology of the ocean from the surface to a depth of 2\,000 meters\, and will allow scientists to pursue fundamental questions concerning ocean ecosystems\, observe ocean health and productivity\, and monitor the elemental cycles of carbon\, oxygen\, and nitrogen in the ocean through all seasons of the year. \nDuring this workshop\, educators work with active researchers to explore current science and/or engineering research\, data\, and conclusions. The educators are given time to develop their own curricula using the knowledge from these explorations and their own experiences to create classroom lessons tied to the abilities of their own students as well as current education standards and pedagogy. The teachers also develop connections with each other and with the researchers that assist them in expanding their classroom reach across the country. \nBecause we only have a limited number of spots available in each EARTH workshop\, applications are required. Applications\, including all supporting materials\, are due by 8:00 pm PST on February 7\, 2022 for the summer workshop. The application process is outlined on the MBARI website: mbari.org/EARTH \nTeachers involved in this workshop will: \n\nExplore cutting edge marine science and technology\, ocean observatories and the data that they collect\nExamine current scientific studies that use oceanographic data and how that data has changed our way of thinking about the oceans\nDevelop new curriculum that uses real science and near-real-time data to teach science content and process and addresses their needs and the needs of their students\nBe part of a program that integrates the use of near-real-time data and real science into classrooms at a national level\nExperience a rich opportunity for professional collaboration and receive classroom resources\, housing\, and travel allowance (exact amounts will depend on the number of teachers signed up for the workshop). We ask that the participants arrange their own travel; reasonable costs will be reimbursed.\nDiscuss how new curriculum materials can be developed that use virtual reality\, augmented reality\, and/or distance education to teach science content and process and address the needs of educators and their students\n\n			\n				Learn more and apply

SUMMARY:NOAA Ocean Acidification Program (OAP) Community Meeting
DESCRIPTION:NOAA’s Ocean Acidification Program (OAP) seeks to better prepare society to respond to changing ocean conditions and resources by expanding understanding of ocean acidification\, through interdisciplinary partnerships\, nationally and internationally. Ocean acidification is occurring because our ocean is absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere\, leading to lower pH and greater acidity. This is causing a fundamental change in the chemistry of the ocean from pole to pole. \nNOAA’s Ocean Acidification Program’s 2023 Community Meeting will be January 4-6 at the Scrips Seaside Forum at 8610 Kennel Way\, La Jolla\, CA. \nMeeting Goals: \n\nShape the future strategic direction of the OAP\nInform community members of recent OAP-supported efforts\nFoster collaborations within the OA research community\nIdentify critical research gaps and efforts to address them\nHighlight and discuss diversity\, equity\, inclusion\, accessibility\, and justice in OA research and our community

SUMMARY:Ocean Visions- Innovating Solutions at the Ocean-Climate Nexus
DESCRIPTION:The Ocean Visions Biennial Summit 2023 will be a significant opportunity to advance the sharing of knowledge and solutions to critical challenges at the ocean-climate nexus. The ocean is under threat from a host of pressures\, but none loom larger than those caused by greenhouse gas pollution\, which drives overheating and acidification. Ocean heating is in turn causing deoxygenation\, sea level rise\, and disruption of critical marine ecosystem functions and services. \nIn order to address this ocean-climate crisis\, the world needs to generate and scale innovative solutions much more effectively and quickly. \nSummit participants will share and discuss cutting-edge advancements in ocean sciences\, engineering\, policy\, governance\, and economics that support trajectory-changing solutions to the dangerous climate impacts on the ocean within 7-10 years.  The conference is designed to be highly interactive with a mix of session types such as plenaries\, lightning presentations\, posters\, an innovation showcase\, and other networking interactions. The conference is structured around five core topical tracks\, which will be addressed through concentrated\, half-day sessions\, in addition to other schedule session times. \n\nOcean-Based Contributions to Global Decarbonization\nOcean-Based Contributions to Carbon Dioxide Removal\nOcean Ecosystem Repair and Regeneration\nHuman Adaptation to a Changing Ocean\nBuilding a Global Community of Solvers at the Ocean-Climate Nexus\n\nThe Summit will be held at Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta\, Georgia from 4-6 April 2023 and offers online attendance options. We welcome a diversity of solutions-oriented participants\, including scientists\, academics\, policymakers\, entrepreneurs\, those with indigenous knowledge of oceans and solutions\, innovators\, and funders. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Observing the Dynamics of the Southern Ocean
DESCRIPTION:The Southern Ocean and Antarctic margins play a central role in regulating sea level rise and our global climate. These regions are also some of the most challenging to conduct sustained observational programs due to the immense logistical difficulties in accessing them. It is critical that we build on the successes of ongoing observational efforts and align future US-led campaigns to complement emerging international programs to ensure the Southern Ocean observing network is prepared for future scientific needs. \nThis two-and-a-half-day workshop will facilitate discussion on the challenges\, opportunities\, and priorities for future observational efforts in the Southern Ocean\, emphasizing year-round observational approaches that can monitor the rapidly evolving sea ice-covered regions and Antarctic margins. A key outcome of this workshop will be a forward-looking white paper document that will guide the research community regarding:  \n\nCritical scientific questions concerning the ocean circulation and climate variability across the subpolar Southern Ocean\nLogistical and technological needs for sustaining year-round observations across the Antarctic subpolar region\nWays to strengthen and diversify the Antarctic oceanographic community and improve international coordination.\n\nIf you are interested in receiving email updates about this workshop\, please fill out this expression of interest form. Registration will be free. Further details regarding the agenda\, travel support\, and other meeting logistics will be provided soon.

SUMMARY:GO-BGC Science Webinar: High-Latitude Biogeochemistry
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the quarterly GO-BGC webinar\, hosted by the US Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry Project Office. This webinar will be focused on high-latitude ocean biogeochemistry by exploring the research of two groups that participated in the 2023 GO-BGC/BGC Argo Float Data Workshop at the University of Massachusetts Boston. The webinar will begin with an update on the status of the GO-BGC float array\, followed by two short presentations. We’ll then close with a community discussion and Q and A session. Recordings will be available on the OCB and GO-BGC websites. \nWebinar agenda: \n\nAn update on the GO-BGC program\,Yui Takeshita (Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute\, USA).\nBiogeochemical properties of the Lofoten Basin Eddy from 14 years of BGC-Argo float data\, Daniel Koestner (University of Bergen\, Norway).    Oceanic eddies are typically short lived but are a crucial physical phenomenon supporting heat and nutrient exchanges across water bodies. The Lofoten Basin Eddy (LBE) is a seemingly permanent topographically constrained anti-cyclonic eddy situated in the northern Norwegian Sea containing relatively cool surface waters and consistently warmer subsurface waters. As such\, the conditions in the LBE may drive significantly different biogeochemical processes than the surrounding waters. Here we examine the unique biogeochemical signatures of the LBE with the 14-year timeseries of BGC-Argo float observations. We describe methodology for float-eddy colocation and examine differences in key biogeochemical parameters inside and outside of the eddy\, including organic carbon export.\nLessons and opportunities from the Southern Ocean Sea Ice team at the 2023 GO-BGC Float Data Workshop\,  Sophie Shapiro (University of California San Diego\, USA). In the winter of 2023\, the Southern Ocean reached a record low sea ice extent anomaly. This unprecedented low sea ice coverage coincided with the August convening of the GO-BGC float data workshop. What insights could a cohort of motivated researchers uncover with two working days and the BGC Argo dataset? In this talk\, we present preliminary data from BGC floats deployed in the Southern Ocean marginal sea ice zone. We illustrate the potential of the observational network to investigate further questions about the dynamics and impacts of changing sea ice. Finally\, we highlight insights and challenges from the GO-BGC workshop to demonstrate the further potential of collaborative data working groups.\nDiscussion\n\nClick here to view the webinar recording.

SUMMARY:8th WMO Workshop on the Impact of Various Observing Systems on Numerical Weather Prediction and Earth System Prediction
DESCRIPTION:The 8th WMO Workshop on the Impact of Various Observing Systems on Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) and Earth System Prediction (ESP) will be organized by WMO and will be hosted by the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) in Sweden\, at the SMHI main office in Norrköping\, on 27-30 May 2024. Participation from all the major numerical weather prediction (NWP) centers and communities active in the field of impact studies about the observing systems is anticipated. The Workshop will be held in a hybrid format (in-person and remote participation will be enabled)\, and will be conducted in English. \nWMO’s Impact Workshop series is an important quadrennial venue for providing science evidence on the impacts of surface and space-based observing systems\, on short to medium and longer-range forecasting including climate monitoring. Conclusions from the Workshop provide guidance on how to optimize the use of the current global observing system as well as help guide its future evolution. \nThis 8th Workshop will continue to focus on assessing the impacts of various observing systems in all Earth system domains on NWP\, but will extend the scope to also encompass the impact assessment of the various observing systems\, to other Earth system applications. This is done in order to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the value of the observations and to support the strategic goals of WMO. \nExperts who have results of impact assessment of various observing systems\, especially those responding to the science questions\, are invited to submit a short abstract. Contributions to the Workshop may fall within general topics that will frame the Workshop sessions (to be determined at a later stage)\, or they may simply address one or several of the specific studies and science questions. Note that to increase the chances of being responsive to this call\, abstracts should clearly articulate what type of impact assessment(s) will be presented. \nAbstract submission deadline is December 15\, 2023. \n
