The SPASS project has put together a very simple, quick (~2 minutes to complete) survey to collect information from the community on what samples have been collected.
Please spare a few minutes to let them know a little about what samples you might have:

We are delighted to announce that the SPASS project has been endorsed as Ocean Decade actions under JETZON.
SPASS (Small Plastics in the Ocean’s Interior: coherent Analysis and Synthesis for better Scrutiny) is established under the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) as the Working Group 174. SPASS tries to address critical gaps…
This is to share the release of a call for Letters of Intent (LOI) for the first grant opportunity through the Environmental Defense Fund's Phytoplankton Carbon Solutions (PCS) Research Program.
RFP #1: Identification and Characterization of Critical Uncertainties for PCS will support foundational research to:
- Identify key uncertainties surrounding carbon dioxide…
Particles smaller than 100 µm account for most of the particulate organic carbon found in the ocean's mesopelagic zone. Yet quantifying their abundance and carbon content with ship-based methods remains difficult, leaving their contribution to the ocean carbon cycle poorly understood. In this study, we draw on a 4D Biogeochemical-Argo data product to examine how small particles vary spatially…
To critically evaluate PCS approaches, EDF is leading a coordinated research initiative and will provide funding opportunities to synthesize and expand the body of knowledge and ongoing research on PCS and the ocean’s natural biological carbon pump. The research under the program can support modeling, limited field work, natural analog studies, and social…

We want you to get visual.
Images are a great way of communicating. They can be a very effective means of conveying even complex messages. It can help you see the bigger picture of your work and can be used in many different ways, from presentations to social media.
So, try making an "infographic" about your work. You don't need to be an artist. You just need to have a…
To strengthen international academic exchanges in the field of deep-sea ecology science and technology and to promote the disciplinary development and research level of deep-sea ecology and monitoring technologies, the “2nd International
Conference for Frontiers in Deep-Sea Ecology Science and Technology”, hosted by Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School, will be held in Shenzhen,…
We invite you to take part in an original research survey led by the BIO-Carbon Early Career Ocean Professionals Network, exploring how ocean carbon–related samples and datasets are collected, managed, and shared across the research community.
This work is motivated by the growing need to better understand data availability in the context of net zero, climate change, and the…
