We are planning to hold a Scientific User Group for Research (SUGR) meeting prior to the AGU meeting in Washington, D.C. (December 9-13). The purpose of the SUGR meeting is to hear from our current and potential user community who are using OOI and other data sets to improve our understanding of the Carbon Cycle. In addition to sessions such as OS004 – Advancing our Understanding of Ocean Carbon and the Air-Sea Carbon Flux, this meeting will feature presentations from researchers who use OOI data, sharing their findings and experiences, and a discussion of potential updates to the GOOS-Endorsed Best Practices document. Additionally, we want to hear from attendees about any new sensors that could be added to OOI infrastructure to further enhance biogeochemical research.
This is an excellent opportunity to connect, collaborate, and expand awareness of the valuable contributions of OOI data to carbon cycle research.
If you are interested in participating, please reach out to Amber Coogan, OOI’s Community Engagement Manager, at amber.coogan@whoi.edu. Kindly include your preferred time on Sunday, December 8th, based on your travel schedule for a three-hour meeting with a lunch break (box lunches provided).
