We are pleased to share that the POGO-SCOR Fellowship Programme for 2025 is now open for applications. The deadline for applications is 27 April 2025 (23:59 CET).

The primary goal of the POGO-SCOR Fellowship Programme is to strengthen sustained ocean observations and their applications, with a focus on training and capacity building to support a global ocean observation framework. Since its launch in 2001, the programme has been highly successful, awarding 200 fellowships to date.

We wanted to share an exciting news that an open-access book Chemical Reference Materials for Oceanography: History, Production, and Certification has now been published in the Springer Oceanography book series.

The book explores the history, production, and certification of reference materials for essential parameters in oceanography and provides a comprehensive understanding of them to readers.

The organizers of the OceanObs’29 Conference invite us to apply to its Program Committee, an exclusive leadership role that will directly shape the vision, themes, and outcomes of this landmark event. They seek a broad range of ocean knowledge-holders, including classical ocean observation experts and Early Career Professionals (ECPs), indigenous representatives, and thought leaders - spanning science, engineering, policy, and industry to guide this effort.

The OceanObs’29 Program Committee applications are open until 31 May 2025. It's important that marine biogeochemistry is adequately represented on the Program Committee and we hope that some of you will consider taking this opportunity to shape the next decade of ocean science and observations.
