A New Twist on Robotic Float Data Reveals Critical Ocean Chemistry
A novel application of a statistical method to existing data from the global network of BGC-Argo floats unveiled chemical measurements critical to tracking nitrogen cycling in oxygen minimum zones.
GO-BGC Float Data and Science Workshop
The Global Ocean Biogeochemistry Array (GO-BGC) program will be hosting a Float Data and Science workshop on August 17-21, 2026 at the University of Washington, Seattle, USA.
Future pathways for the BGC Argo program: A Workshop
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will hold a workshop designed to explore options for the future of the biogeochemical (or BGC) Argo program. Cross-sector experts will convene to dig into the scientific value of the program, operation and technical challenges, and pathways for transitioning BGC-Argo to a sustainable long-term operational mode.
Free-Floating Robots Find Ocean’s Carbon Storage Is Struggling
GO-BGC floats are highlighted in an IEEE Spectrum story that discusses the publication by Bif et al. (2025) on the effects of marine heatwaves on marine ecosystems and the biological carbon pump.

How are Scientists Keeping an Eye on Earth’s Oceans?
A new book written by oceanographers explores how scientists conduct research below the surface of the ocean.
Robots monitor the deep sea
GO-BGC's sister program Deep Argo in the spotlight. In a recent NBC Bay Area news report "Underwater robots tracking climate change", GO-BGC and Argo's Sarah Purkey from Scripps Institute of Oceanography (SIO) talks about Deep Argo robots that track climate change in...
Congrats to Dr. Talley
Dr. Lynne Talley was elected to membership in the National Academy of Sciences in recognition of her distinguished and continuing achievements in original research.
GO-BGC and SOCCOM want to hear from you!
GO-BGC and SOCCOM are interested in how the science community uses GO-BGC and/or SOCCOM data, how that data is accessed and any published papers based on the data. Please take a moment to let us know how you use GO-BGC and/or SOCCOM data or how you plan to use GO-BGC...
