Laurent Mortier, the scientific coordinator of AMRIT, was invited by DG MARE to present the project at a meeting attended by three other DGs. He was accompanied by Joanna Post, Director of the GOOS office and Inga Lips, director of the secretariat of our partner EuroGOOS.
The European Ocean Observing System (EOOS) and JPI Oceans have released the first two National Charts for ocean observing in Europe. They showcase Greece’s and Germany’s organisational structure. The approach and information is suitable to underpin AMRIT’s mission to unify and enhance European marine research infrastructures through collaborative data integration and sharing.
The MINKE project, an initiative to improve collaboration between the ocean community and metrology research by supporting starting community infrastructure, is nearing its end in March 2025
The AMRIT project has been presented in the poster sessions of the Integrated Carbon Observation System Science Conference 2024
Understanding the ocean's role in the carbon cycle is a major objective of scientific research and ocean observing systems (OOS), as the ocean is the main sink for anthropogenic carbon. The processes need to be better understood, and the spatial variability of the source/sink better quantified, so that the budget can be correctly calculated.
AMRIT was introduced by Zeynep Erdem to the International Research Ship Operators (IRSO) 2024 meeting. IROS 2024, Vancouver Canada, September 23 and 26, 2024.
