Mark Costello (University of Auckland) and Amanda Bates are working on the initial steps in developing a global network of research institutes and collaborators interested in time-series biodiversity data. We are hoping that you would be willing to provide some information on long-term monitoring programmes/data series/observatories that are based at your institute. Our aim is to identify temporal marine data sets and data holders in Europe, starting with the EUROMARINE community.
A special issue of ERL is seeking submissions focused on negative emissions.
A measuring system for wind driven sand transport, a set-up for acidification experiments with algae and a multi-transducer parametrical echosounder are the three new research instruments that will be purchased by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) for marine research in Flanders and its surroundings. These three instruments were selected by the Scientific Committee through a call for proposals to invest in the marine research infrastructure of VLIZ 2015.
32 International Scholars from all scientific disciplines will embark on an Ocean Observation Expedition along a North South Atlantic Ocean Transect, from Bremerhaven in Germany to Cape Town, South Africa, on the RV Polarstern. The training programme is known as the “Atlantic Floating Summer School”. The objective of this cruise is to train Scholars to become Experts in Ocean Observation.
