SOLAS Announcement: SOLAS Seminar X on 22 January 2025

Register Now! SOLAS Seminar X on 22 January 2025, Online

The SOLAS seminar series is a quarterly event, which is structured around SOLAS relevant topics covered by the SOLAS 2015-2025 Science Plan and beyond, with the aims of fostering discussions on cutting edge scientific questions, providing researchers at all career stages with the opportunity to interact and building SOLAS community across the globe.

The 10th seminar of the series is hosted by SOLAS Italy, SOLAS Early Career Scientist Committee (ECSC) & University of Siena and will be held online from 14:00-15:15 UTC+1 on 22 January 2025.

In light of the upcoming SPARSE workshop “Surface PlAstic Remote SEnsing: a way forward for the detection of marine litter and floating matter” (28-30 May 2025, Siena, Italy) funded by ESA-Future Earth Joint Initiative with SOLAS’ sponsorship, this seminar introduces the topic of plastic pollution at key interfaces, at the air-sea interface in particular and in other aquatic environments, and its effects on ecosystems health and fundamental biogeochemical cycles. Since the plastic problem stems from land, identifying hot-spots of plastic accumulation allows for early mitigation strategies.

Registration is open and free of charge. More information on SOLAS website here.

GEOTRACES Student and Early Career Scientist Mailing List – Sign up

Students, early career scientists and supervisors: please share this information with your colleagues!

The GEOTRACES Early Career Scientist (ECS) Committee wishes to create a mailing list of GEOTRACES students (Master and PhD) and Early Career Scientists (be no more than 10 years from PhD completion – not counting time for career interruptions), to foster collaborations and promote activities within the framework of GEOTRACES science.

Are you a GEOTRACES student or early career scientist? Would you like to be in?

Registration Link: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcpc-qgpjsoHdQLPgDBbrTgQC-5JOiqoeFB

Title: Advancements in Biogeophysical 4D reconstructions: New methods development and exploitation of existing products for scientific investigations

Presenter: Dr. Bruno Buongiorno Nardelli, Italian National Research Council

The presentation will address two key topics: the development of physically-informed neural network methods for the joint reconstruction of physical and biological variables in the Mediterranean Sea, and the analysis of existing data-driven 4D reconstructions of POC, combined with advanced dynamical diagnostics, to uncover the interannual variability of organic carbon export in the global ocean. The first part will introduce the approach tested in the European Space Agency’s 4DMED-Sea project, while the second will focus on research conducted within the H2020 AtlantEco project.
