contribution to the 2020 European Polar Science Week

The European Polar Science Week is one of the first results of the increased cooperation between the European Commission (Directorate General for Research and Innovation) and the European Space Agency (ESA) are working together to improve cooperation and to identify the grand science challenges in Polar research that may drive joint EC-ESA scientific activities in the coming years. It took place on-line during October 26-30 2020. During this week, key scientists and stakeholders of Polar Science will have the opportunity discuss the major challenges and opportunities in front of us, promote networking and collaboration across projects and activities and support… Read More

at the "Designing Ocean Literacy action in Europe" workshop

On 25 September 2020, the European Ocean Coalition (EU4Ocean) workshop “Designing Ocean Literacy action in Europe” built momentum for collective actions and knowledge sharing. Attendants had the opportunity to share ideas with other Ocean Literacy enthusiasts, experts, and people interested in ocean issues. SO-CHIC participated to this workshop, along with other European projects to interact on collective actions on three priority themes: Climate and Ocean, Food from the Ocean, and Healthy and Clean Ocean. You can download the summary and the synthesis of the workshops here: 1 page summary of the EU4Ocean thematic workshops (25/09/20)4 page synthesis of the ideas gathered… Read More

Second webinar: recording online

New frontiers in air-sea fluxes in the Southern Ocean The second in a series of webinars for the EU-funded project Southern Ocean Carbon and Heat Impact on Climate (SO-CHIC). The webinar features speakers Seb Swart (University of Gothenburg, Sweden), Mario Hoppema (Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, Bremerhaven, Germany) and Brian Ward (National University of Ireland, Galway) discussing air-sea fluxes in the Southern Ocean and research plans within the SO-CHIC project. https://youtu.be/Xne_elC29E4 Read More

Webinar – SO-CHIC: Southern Ocean Carbon and Heat Impact on Climate – Jean-Baptiste Sallée

The EPB will host the first in a series of webinars for the project Southern Ocean Carbon and Heat Impact on Climate (SO-CHIC) on 15:00 CEST, Tuesday 7th April 2020. This first webinar, given by project coordinator Jean-Baptiste Sallée from Sorbonne Université, will introduce SO-CHIC and its objectives. The Southern Ocean regulates the global climate by controlling heat and carbon exchanges between the atmosphere and the ocean. Rates of climate change on decadal time scales ultimately depend on oceanic processes taking place in the Southern Ocean, yet too little is known about the underlying processes. Limitations come both from the lack of observations in… Read More
