Subject: Announcing the OCCC Workshop

"The Ocean Carbon System: Recent Advances and Future Opportunities" An Ocean Carbon and Climate Change (OCCC) Workshop August 1-4, 2005 Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (Woods Hole, MA) Rapid advances in ocean carbon research are being driven by targeted ocean biogeochemical process studies (e.g., VERTIGO, SOFeX, EDDIES), on-going time-series programs (HOT, BATS, CARIACO), the global CLIVAR/CO2 Repeat Hydrography Program and surface CO2 Volunteer Observing Ship Program, and satellite observations. A rich set of opportunities for ocean carbon cycle research is also emerging from the planned NSF supported ORION ocean observation infrastructure. As part of the new Ocean Carbon and Climate Change (OCCC) program, we are hosting a science workshop this summer with the specific objectives to: -highlight recent scientific findings in ocean carbon science; -foster improved communication among existing ocean carbon observing programs and process studies; -discuss applications of emerging autonomous in situ observations in marine biogeochemistry. The format of the workshop will include invited plenary talks, poster sessions, and discussion groups. Participants will include ocean scientists with expertise in ocean carbon observations, process studies, remote sensing, numerical modeling and sensor/platform technology development. The workshop will be held Monday, August 1st through Thursday, August 4th on the Quissett Campus of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole MA. Full or partial travel support will be available for most workshop participants. In particular we encourage students and post-docs to apply. If you are interested in participating, please contact Mary Zawoysky (mzawoysky@whoi.edu). Web site and logistical details will then follow. -- Mary Zawoysky MS #43 Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Woods Hole, MA 02543-1057 Phone: 508-289-2834 Fax: 508-457-2161 E-mail: mzawoysky@whoi.edu
