NSF 7th Annual Frontiers in Ocean Sciences Symposium
In celebration of June as National Ocean Month, the NSF Division of Ocean Sciences looks forward to the 7th annual Frontiers in Ocean Sciences Symposium, which highlights NSF-supported scientists transforming ocean science, including Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory oceanographer and carbon cycle scientist Galen McKinley.
This year’s symposium will be centered on the recently released National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine report, “Forecasting the Ocean: The 2025-2035 Decade of Ocean Science.”
The Symposium will start with a discussion with report authors, followed by three groups of short talks by NSF-funded scientists for each of the report’s key science questions:
- Ocean and Climate: How will the ocean’s ability to absorb heat and carbon change? with Galen A. McKinley, Naomi Levine, and Susan Lozier
- Ecosystem Resilience: How will marine ecosystems respond to changes in the Earth system? with Rachel Bay, Katherine Mills, and Deron Burkepile
- Extreme Events: How can we improve our ability to forecast extreme events driven by ocean and seafloor processes? with Tina Dura, Patrick Lynett, and Diego Melgar
