The organizers of OceanObs’19 are soliciting summary, 300-word abstracts describing aspirations for the coming decade from all interested groups. The abstract topics should address improved connections between end users and providers of ocean observations, opportunities for more integration at the global and regional level, and address one or ideally more of the seven (anticipated) themes (Discovery, Ecosystem Health & Biodiversity, Climate Variability & Change, Water, Food, & Energy Security, Pollution & Human Health, Hazards & Maritime Safety, and Blue Economy) and two crosscutting themes on data information system and ocean observing governance topics.
The OceanObs’19 Program Committee will review and recommend which abstracts should be developed into scientific white papers. The white paper development process is currently scheduled to open from April 30 – September 30, 2018. The Program Committee may recommend that authors of particular abstracts collaborate and merge the concepts described in separate abstracts to develop a joint Community White Paper. The papers will be peer-reviewed and published in an open access journal before the conference.
Deadline 15 March 2018
