SUMMARY:G7 FSOI Workshop on Marine Research Infrastructures integration and harmonization
DESCRIPTION:Research Infrastructures (RIs) are large-scale facilities that include instruments\, resources\, data\, and services used by scientists for research in their respective fields. Marine RIs consist of specialized vessels\, platforms\, and marine facilities dedicated to research and monitoring\, including sustained ocean observation systems. These systems enable continuous ocean observations that support scientific research\, public services\, marine resource management\, spatial planning\, meteorological forecasts\, hazard response\, climate services\, policy needs\, and the blue economy. Due to the number\, heterogeneity\, and complementarity of oceanic observing systems\, a coordinated effort is required to integrate and interlink different RIs and national integrated ocean observing systems\, as emphasized at the 2024 Ocean Decade Conference in Barcelona. \nTo address this issue\, the G7 FSOI Working Group endorsed a theme on the integration and harmonization of marine research infrastructures as a 2024 emerging topic. The aim is to develop a common definition of marine research infrastructure in the context of sustained ocean observing\, to map the existing facilities and observing networks currently sustained by long-term investments\, to review and assess the current limitations to sustained operations and barriers to global infrastructure sharing and collaboration\, and to agree on a common vision and strategy for integration and harmonization. \nThe workshop will take place in Bologna\, Italy on July 12\, 2024. Invited participants include a) representatives of national agencies or ministries who finance ocean observing networks\, b) leading experts and/or managers of national or regional marine research infrastructure/observing networks\, c) Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) national focal points\, and d) relevant experts from the Group of Senior Officials on Global Research Infrastructures to provide advice on how other global research infrastructures have been established and operated. \nA summary of the workshop findings and recommendations will be presented at the 2024 G7 FSOI working group annual meeting on October 29-31\, Rome. These recommendations and eventual agreements on coordinated actions will contribute to the FSOI Working Group report to the G7 Science and Technology Ministers. \nItaly is leading the organization of this workshop with support from the UK.

SUMMARY:Global Biogeochemical-Argo Workshop
DESCRIPTION:On 4\, 11\, 18 and 25 May and June 1\, a virtual workshop will be held building on the priorities of the G7 Future of the Seas and Oceans Initiative to explore the applications of a global data-stream from the Biogeochemical-Argo array in fisheries\, carbon budget verification\, and environmental forecasting. The workshop is organised by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)\, Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI)\, and the State University of New Jersey (RUTGERS)\, with international coordination assistance from the G7 FSOI Coordination Centre\, and with financial support from NASA\, NOAA\, and NSF. \nThe workshop is motivated by the G7 Future of the Seas and Oceans Initiative for better ocean observations to ensure sustainable use by future generations.  Recent funding by the US National Science Foundation of a $53 million project\, Global Ocean Biogeochemistry Array (GO-BGC)\, to deploy 500 Biogeochemical-Argo profiling floats throughout the world ocean is an important step in this direction. Completion of the planned BGC-Argo system will require establishing collaborations with international partners\, including those beyond the G7 nations. The workshop will celebrate these initial international commitments and discuss how to ensure that the combined investment meets the priorities of the G7 and international funders and stakeholders. The workshop will prioritise next steps with partners to ensure full implementation of the array and the international collaboration required to sustain the array into the future.
