We would like to let you know about two webinars which are due to take place next week: on ocean acidification organized by the Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network (GOA-ON), and on deoxygenation organized by the Global Ocean Oxygen NEtwork (IOC Expert Working Group GO2NE).

The 15th GO2NE webinar will be held on August 23, 23:00 CEST. The webinar will be moderated by Jodie Rummer (James Cook University, Australia) and will include a presentation on "Coral reef hypoxia: Present-day exposure and projections under warming" by Ariel Pezner (Scripps Institution of

We would like to let you know that the Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network (GOA-ON) Webinar Series resume on April 29th at 14:00-15:00 UTC. Join Dr. Sarah Cooley, Director of Climate Science at the Ocean Conservancy, Dr. Helen Gurney-Smith, Research Scientist at DFO Canada, and Dr. Libby Jewett, Director of NOAA's Ocean Acidification Program for a presentation on ocean acidification findings in the newly released IPCC Working Group 2 report.

The report assessed the current state of knowledge about ocean acidification and its impacts on ocean systems both globally and regionally. New model projections detail the development of ocean acidification through the water column, and how its future development depends

Building resilience in the production and distribution of CO₂-in-seawater Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) continues to be an issue for the global marine carbon community because there is a single source of reference materials for total alkalinity, dissolved inorganic carbon, and pH in seawater and a calibrated HCl titrant for seawater alkalinity analysis (A. Dickson Laboratory, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego, USA). On 16 September 2021, as part of the Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network (GOA-ON) Week, IOCCP contributed to a dedicated session "Community Discussion around CO₂-in-seawater CRMs."

Apart from introducing the results from over 240 responses to the

On behalf of the Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network (GOA-ON) we would like to let you know that the Ocean Acidification Week 2021 is just around the corner (Monday 13 September - Friday 17 September, 2021). This year, GOA-ON's virtual OA Week includes 5

Dupont and Widdicombe launch new GOA-ON webinar series on Jan 27, 4-5pm CET

We would like to let you know about a number of ocean acidification related webinars taking place in the coming days. Already today, on Wednesday Sep 2^nd at 8:00 PM CEST, there will be a webinar on "Consistent ocean acidification messaging: the key to consistent understanding" run by US NOAA Ocean Acidification Programme. The webinar will help you learn about an effort to use consistent, visually-driven messaging to build understanding around the ocean acidification topic. You can register for the webinar here: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/980534983192728847

Next week on 8-10

IOCCP is heavily engaged in shaping the community vision and recommendations for sustained marine biogeochemistry and integrated ocean observations for the next decade. With the OceanObs'19 Conference just around the corner, we encourage you to take a look at a number of Community White Papers already published in the special issue of Frontiers in Marine Science. There you can read about the proposed future ocean governance models, lessons learnt from implementing the Framework for Ocean Observing, but also about challenges and recommendations from the GOA-ON, SOCONET, ARGO networks or the

On behalf of the Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network (GOA-ON) we are excited to announce that the GOA-ON Implementation Strategy was officially launched at the 4^th GOA-ON International Workshop, held in Hangzhou, China on 14-17 April. This document outlines how to implement the GOA-ON Requirements and Governance Plan, including expanding ocean acidification observations, closing human and technology capacity gaps, connecting scientists regionally and globally, and informing about the impacts of

We are happy to let you know that the 4^th Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network (GOA-ON) International Workshop (http://www.goa-on2019.com/en/index.html) will be held in Hangzhou, China from 14 to 17 April 2019. The Workshop, co-sponsored by IOCCP, will bring together scientists from around the world to discuss emerging aspects from the coupled effects of ocean acidification with multi-stressors, review global ocean acidification status and forecast capabilities, and explore opportunities for capacity development. The workshop is consisted of various events to facilitate an open, multi-level and comprehensive communication

The Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network (GOA-ON) and the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO invite you to take part in a survey on ocean acidification research and observation data. Your answers to this survey will help trace where ocean acidification data is being collected, and where it is stored and served, to facilitate reporting on one of the indicators of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14, 'Life below water'. SDG14 Target 3 on ocean acidification calls to 'minimize and address the impacts of ocean acidification, including through enhanced scientific cooperation at all levels'. IOC-UNESCO is the custodian agency for the

We would like to let you know that during its 51^st Executive Council Meeting in July 2018, the Member States of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO welcomed the Methodology for the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Target Indicator 14.3.1. The SDG Target Indicator 14.3.1 calls for "average marine acidity measured at an agreed suite of representative sampling stations". The Methodology provides guidance to scientists and countries about how to carry out measurements following the best practices established by experts in the ocean acidification community, including members of the Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network (GOA-ON) and IOCCP, and explains how to report the collected information.

We would like to inform you that Ocean Acidification has been considered as one of World Meteorological Organization's Global Climate Indicators - a set of seven parameters that describe the changing climate without reducing climate change to only temperature. They comprise key information for the most relevant domains of climate change: temperature and energy, atmospheric composition, ocean and water as well as the cryosphere. These Global Climate Indicators have been identified by scientists and communication specialists in a discursive process led by GCOS during workshops and scientific panel

We are happy to let you know that the Latin American Ocean Acidification (LAOCA) Network has recently launched its website - http://laoca.cl/en/ - which is now accessible in English, Spanish and Portuguese! The mission of LAOCA is to communicate and enhance understanding of ocean acidification process in Latin America, and its interaction with other local processes and their impact on marine ecosystems and their services through international cooperation. IOCCP, as a partner of LAOCA, actively promotes standards and best practices for marine biogeochemistry observations as well as provides technical training on measurement, data handling and data management

The Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network Executive Council and the Organizing Committee would like to invite you to participate in this focused workshop following the 4th International Symposium on Oceans in a High CO₂ World. 

You can find the workshop agenda 

The International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project (IOCCP) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), with co-sponsorship from the Millennium Institute of Oceanography (IMO) and the Center for the Study of Multiple-Drivers on Marine Socio-Ecological Systems (MUSELS) organized a hands-on Technical Workshop on Carbonate System Measurements at the Instituto de Investigaciones Oceanológicas, Universidad Autónoma de Baja California, in Tijuana-Ensenada, México, from December 3 to 11, 2016.
