Happy World Oceans Day to everyone!

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the SCOR community and its affiliated organizations and partners for their phenomenal dedication to ocean science.

Through international Working Groups and Large Scale projects, the SCOR community has for more than 60 years, addressed global and multidisciplinary ocean issues.

The SCOR community plans and conducts research, solves methodological and conceptual problems, and builds capacity worldwide. SCOR also promotes equity, diversity, and inclusion in oceans sciences, and encourages and supports involvement of students and early career scientists.

Thank you for your continued support!

The “Observing Air-Sea Interactions Strategy” (OASIS) SCOR WG #162 approved in 2020 has launched its first Newsletter

OASIS is a community working to harmonize observational strategies and develop a practical, integrated approach to observing air-sea interactions through capacity development, leveraging of multi-disciplinary activities, and advancement of understanding.

Cambria Hotel Downtown Asheville in Asheville, NC.

Registration deadline: June 25, 2021

Workshop website: https://zzqvaay3twhzlhnmvpvdvq-on.drv.tw/Web/Iron_Workshop/

This workshop is dedicated to an improved understanding of how does bioaccessible LFe (Aerosol labile iron) move across the ocean-atmosphere interface and become bioavailable for uptake in the ocean at scales important for ocean ecosystems and the carbon cycle.

The registration fee is $150 for in-person attendance and $100 for online-only attendance. The payment links below will lead to a Square payment link hosted by the FSU Thalassic Society graduate student organization. A credit card is required to pay the registration fee.

The latest issue of The Indian Ocean Bubble-2, a publication from the International Indian Ocean Expedition 2 (IIOE-2) is accessible at https://iioe-2.incois.gov.in/IIOE-2/pdfviewer_pub.jsp?docname=IIOE-2-DOC_OM_211.pdf

The Partnership for Observation of the Global Ocean (POGO) and Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) joint Visiting Fellowship programme for 2021 will be open for applications for a few more days.

The extended deadline for applications is 14 May 2021.

The scheme is designed to promote training and capacity development, leading towards a global observation scheme for the oceans, and is aimed at scientists, technicians, graduate students (preferably PhD) and post-doctoral fellows involved in oceanographic work at centres in developing countries and countries with economies in transition.

Priority is given to applicants in the early stages of their career development. The fellowship offers the opportunity to visit other oceanographic centres for a short period (1 to 3 months) for training on aspects of oceanographic observations, analyses, and interpretation. It provides financial support to cover the return airfare from the fellow’s home country to the host institution, and a contribution towards accommodation and subsistence for the period of the visit.
