Description:

As a cross-disciplinary, cross-institutional organization, the Ocean Carbon Biogeochemistry (OCB) Program is conducting this brief survey to understand the current diversity of people in the OCB network and gather feedback on how we can increase support of and engagement with scientists from underrepresented groups in OCB-related careers. While we do intend to share summaries [ ] READ MORE » Last September, OCB organized an NSF EarthCube-funded meeting focused on shipboard ocean time series data (meeting report). One of the key recommendations that emerged from this workshop was the need for a sustained activity such as a research coordination network (RCN) focused on developing ecological and biogeochemical data and metadata standards and broadening users of [ ] READ MORE » OCB is seeking nominations for new Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) members. The following SSC members are scheduled to rotate off at the end of 2020: Andrea Fassbender (MBARI) marine biogeochemical cycling, the ocean’s role in global climate through the carbon cycle Matt Long (NCAR) biogeochemical and climate modeling Amy Maas (BIOS) physiology, [ ] READ MORE » Ocean acidification is often enhanced by eutrophication and subsequent hypoxia and anoxia in coastal waters, which collectively threaten marine organisms and ecosystems. Acidification is particularly of concern for organisms that form shells and skeletons from calcium carbonate (CaCO3) such as commercially important shellfish species. Given that CaCO3 mineral dissolution can increase the total alkalinity of [ ] READ MORE » The dissolved organic carbon (DOC) pool is vital for the functioning of marine ecosystems. DOC fuels marine food webs and is a cornerstone of the earth’s carbon cycle. As one of the largest pools of organic matter on the planet, disruptions to marine DOC cycling driven by climate and environmental global changes can impact air-sea [ ] READ MORE » OCB is extending the series now accepting new titles and abstracts.

Productivity and marine snow dynamics: Novel approaches and measurements of the biological pump (Chair: Clare Reimers) with Amanda Timmerman (UCSD) Offshore fronts potentially [ ] READ MORE » The NSF- funded Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) deploys sensors that measure key biogeochemical properties (pH, pCO2, bio-optics, nitrate, dissolved oxygen) on both moored and mobile autonomous platforms across arrays in the Atlantic, Pacific and Southern Oceans. These sensors provide enormous potential to support the oceanographic community in studying a wide range of important interdisciplinary questions.

It also targets improving understanding of carbon cycle processes and feedbacks in critical ecosystems that are particularly vulnerable to environmental change. Substantive use [ ] READ MORE » The Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry (OCB) Program is soliciting proposals for OCB activities that will take place or begin during the 2021 calendar year. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, activities that can be conducted remotely (at least for the first half of 2021) are encouraged. Any proposed in-person activities should include contingency plans in case delays or cancellations are [ ] READ MORE »
