This year’s DOOS Annual Meeting, “Collective Action, Lasting Change,” marks the fifth year of this gathering and five years of strengthened global collaboration to advance deep ocean observing, building on foundations laid by earlier efforts across the community. As we reach the midpoint of the UN Ocean Decade and enter a new era of ocean governance with the BBNJ Agreement, the meeting will…
One of the JETZON ECOP co-leads, Adamu Salisu, is looking for partners to develop a new project.
It would aim to quantify the flux of particulate and dissolved organic carbon from coastal regions, across the shelf and into the mesopelagic where it may fuel respiration.
He is particularly interested in the tropical west African system (…
