Deadline: 23 October 2024

"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."

Application deadline for PAGES (Past Global Changes) Mobility Fellowships closing on 15 August 2024

"There are two types, one for mobility within Africa and one within Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC).
These fellowships are meant to promote mobility of early career researchers from one country within the region to another country within the same region, typically for one month. Deadline for both is 15 August 2024."

For further information, please visit here for Africa and here for LAC. 

Call for Abstracts closing on 31 July 2024

AGU (American Geophysical Union) annual meeting 2024, Washington, D.C., 9-13 December 2024

"On behalf of the 'Global Ocean Oxygen Database and Atlas’ steering committee we are very happy to share a short survey (10 questions, less than 10 minutes).

Ocean oxygen data are a critical part to understand our ocean today and in the future. However, currently there is no common entry point to obtain ocean oxygen data of known quality from the open and coastal ocean, measured from Eulerian and Lagrangian platforms. Within the Ocean Decade Programme 'Global Ocean Oxygen Decade' (GOOD) an effort called 'Global Ocean Oxygen Database and ATlas' (GO2DAT) is trying to change this.

This survey is the first step to implement GO2DAT. We count on your cooperation to identify who, where and how ocean oxygen is measured, what type of quality checks and flags are applied. This information will be indispensable to have ocean oxygen data complying with the FAIR and CARE principles.

Please submit your response by 30 June 2023."

EBUS Conference: September 19 - 23, 2022 in Lima, Peru

"The Open Science Conference on Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems (EBUS): Past, Present and Future and the Second International Conference on the Humboldt Current System are planned for September 19 - 23 in Lima, Peru. Although the conference aims to be in-person, options for virtual participation will be provided.

The meeting will bring together PhD students, early career scientists and world experts to understand, review, and synthesize what is known about dynamics, sensitivity, vulnerability and resilience of Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems and their living resources to climate variability, change and extreme events."

Registration ("early bird" deadline: August 30, 2022).

For further information please visit the event's homepage.

Call for Abstracts closing tomorrow

The conference will be hosted at the University of New South Wales (UNSW). UNSW is located close to one of the most iconic beaches in Australia and a short bus ride away from Sydney's central business district.

Following the traditional ICP format, the conference will be organised around invited plenary oral presentations as well as large and vibrant poster sessions. Networking will be at the centre of the ICP, with numerous social events including the Paleomusicology concert and conference dinner.

The lively city of Sydney has a rich cultural heritage and offers adventure and entertainment for all ages and tastes. Breathtaking coastal national parks, the Blue Mountains and the Hunter Valley, known for Australia’s finest wines, are only a daytrip away.

A range of existing pre- and post- Conference field trips will be organised in New South Wales, New Zealand and potentially the Great Barrier Reef. For those with time for exploring, Sydney is the gateway to iconic travel locations including the Great Barrier Reef, Uluru, and Kakadu National Park.
