"The Global Ocean Oxygen Network expert working group is seeking nominations for new members to join in place of several incumbent members that are rotating out in the next 6-12 months.

Over a 3-year term, with the possibility to extend to two terms, GO₂NE members advise the IOC-UNESCO Secretariat and its Member States on the threat of oxygen loss in the ocean and related scientific priorities. GO₂NE is committed to providing a global and multidisciplinary view of ocean deoxygenation, with a focus on understanding its multiple aspects and impacts. Furthermore, GO₂NE developed the framework of the Global Ocean Oxygen Decade (GOOD) as part of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, which is working to provide knowledge for action and develop mitigation and adaptation strategies and solutions to ensure continued provision of ecosystem services. More on GO₂NE and GOOD can be found on their respective webpages. 

The call is open to anyone that can demonstrate a strong interest in oxygen in the marine environment. Preference will be given to nominees with experience in biological oceanography, socio-economics, and social science.

To nominate yourself or someone else, please submit your nomination to the GO₂NE Secretariat by 23 October 2024 with the following information:

• Name, affiliation & email address
• A statement of expertise and experience pertaining to ocean oxygen (300 words)
• A statement of suitability to sit on an international scientific steering committee (300 words)

The current GO₂NE members will consider the candidates that fit best to enhance GO₂NE’s global representation of all aspects of research on ocean deoxygenation. We will inform the nominees of the results of the selection process by mid December 2024. GO₂NE actively encourages applications from under-represented groups and is committed to diversity and gender balance. For inquires or more information, please contact the GO₂NE Secretariat."
