Deep Ocean Science Town Hall at 2020 Ocean Sciences Meeting

Drs. Samantha Joye, Anna-Louise Reysenbach and Adam Soule will host a Town Hall at the 2020 Ocean Sciences Meeting - Developing a coordinated vision for transdisciplinary deep ocean research.  The Town Hall is scheduled for Monday, 17 February from 12:25 to 1:45 pm at the San Diego Convention Center, 9, UL.  

The Town Hall is aimed at researchers who are interested in  in contributing to development of a grassroots community vision that will promote a new phase of deep sea discovery through coordinated transdisciplinary research efforts made possible through development of a Research Coordination Network proposal.  This effort will advance the field and create new directions in deep sea science, promote new collaborations, and foster coordination and training across disciplinary, organizational, geographic, and international boundaries all while broadening participation in deep ocean science. 

Event: Developing a coordinated vision for transdisciplinary deep ocean search Town Hall

When:   Monday February 17th from 12:45 pm to 1:45 pm

Where:   San Diego Convention Center, 9, UL - San Diego, CA

Hope to see you there!

UNOLS SCOAR Town Hall at 2020 Ocean Sciences Meeting

The UNOLS Science Committee for Oceanographic Aircraft Research (SCOAR) will host a Town Hall at the 2020 Ocean Sciences on Expanding the Reach of the Research Fleet: Autonomous (and Piloted) Airborne Systems in Support of Ocean Sciences.  The full abstract can be found here.   

The Town Hall is scheduled for Wednesday, February 19 from 12:45 pm to 1:45 pm at at the San Diego Convention Center, Room 9, UL. The community will have the opportunity to hear the latest information about the use of airborne resources to enhance oceanographic research.  

The Town Hall will include a series of lightning presentations where scientists are invited to present one slide in one-three minutes explaining how s/he has used aircraft in her/his respective research. We hope you will consider presenting a slide in the lightning session.

If you will/have used airborne resources in your oceanographic work and wish to present a lightning talk please sign up here:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SCOAR_TownHall_2020_Ocean_Sciences
