We would like to warmly invite you to the upcoming Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) webinar on "Unsung heroes in the spotlight: a look at Marine Ecological Time Series, and what they are telling us about the ocean" scheduled for 5 December, at 15:00 GMT/UTC. The webinar will be presented by Laura Lorenzoni (University of South Florida, USA).

The Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) and the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) invite nominations of qualified individuals to serve on the Scientific Steering Committee of the Southern Ocean Observing System (SOOS). This call is for Scientific Members, with terms starting at the annual SSC meeting (Hangzhou, China, 6-9 May 2018). Nominations from experts in carbon, biogeochemistry and ecosystems are encouraged.

The deadline for nominations is 1^st February 2018.

We would like to inform you about the publication of “A user's guide for selected autonomous biogeochemical sensors” now available for download as PDF from the IOCCP website HERE. The guide presents a final outcome of the 1^st International IOCCP Sensors Summer Course held in 2015 in Kristineberg, Sweden. This user’s guide provides easy-to-follow steps on the usage (including preparation, deployment, recovery and basic data processing) of selected autonomous biogeochemical sensors which measure oxygen, nitrate, pCO₂ and pH.
