Upcoming OOI SUGR Meeting Focused on Advancing Ocean Carbon Research
The Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) is hosting a Scientific User Group for Research (SUGR) meeting just before the AGU conference in Washington, D.C. on Sunday, December 8th from 11am-2pm ET. This meeting will serve as a platform for both current and potential users of OOI and other datasets to collaborate on research efforts aimed at improving our understanding of the Carbon Cycle.
The SUGR meeting will feature key presentations on ocean carbon science and data quality, followed by a discussion on updating the GOOS-Endorsed Best Practices document to incorporate the latest scientific advancements. Attendees will also see a demonstration of the OOI data explorer, highlighting its role in improving data quality assessments and research. Additionally, the meeting will invite input on potential new sensors to enhance OOI’s infrastructure, further supporting biogeochemical research.
This is an excellent opportunity to collaborate, share experiences, and learn more about how OOI data contributes to carbon cycle research.
The meeting will last for three hours and include a lunch break, with boxed lunches provided for in-person attendees. If you’re interested in attending, please contact Amber Coogan, OOI’s Community Engagement Manager, at amber.coogan@whoi.edu, and indicate whether you’d prefer to attend in person or virtually.
Note: AGU registration is not required to participate in the SUGR meeting.
