OCB Scoping
2022-12-15 (IPMA)
IPMA researcher and CCMAR member, A. Miguel Santos was invited to participate in the “OCB Scoping Workshop: Building a Cost-effective Coastal Biogeochemical Observing Network in Collaboration with the Commercial Fishing Community”, which will take place between January 18th and 20th, 2023 at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) in the U.S.A.
The OCB is the “Ocean Carbon Biogeochemistry” program, created in 2006 as one of the main activities of the U.S. Carbon Cycle Science Program, an interagency body that coordinates and facilitates activities relevant to carbon cycle science, climate, and global change issues. OCB’s overarching goal is to explore the ocean’s role in the global carbon cycle and the response of marine ecosystems to environmental changes of the past (paleo), present, and future (prediction).
This 3-day scoping workshop will initiate a dialog among key stakeholders and collaborators across the commercial fishing community, federal and state governments, technology companies, and academia to focus on building a cost-effective, coastal biogeochemical (BGC) observing network.
Miguel Santos was invited by the WHOI to give a talk on the Portuguese experience in the development of autonomous ocean observating systems, namely on board fishing vessels.
