OOI Ambassador Program

The OOI Ambassador Program highlights the people and research behind the use of Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) data. Through its Data and Community Ambassadors, the program recognizes expertise across the ocean science community and showcases how OOI observations contribute to scientific discovery, education, and the development of new tools and technologies.

OOI Data Ambassadors

OOI Data Ambassadors represent the scientific and technical expertise of the OOI program, bringing specialized knowledge of ocean observing systems, instrumentation, data collection, and scientific applications. Their collective expertise helps highlight OOI’s observing capabilities, available datasets, and the many ways OOI observations can support scientific research.

The OOI Principal Investigators (PIs) featured below represent the broader teams of scientists and technical experts who contribute to these efforts.
