Is your September calendar rapidly filling up? Save the date for the next OceanICU webinar - coming to a computer screen near you this autumn. The OceanICU project is designing new Decision Support Tools (DSTs)—modelling tools—to allow us to predict the impact of natural processes and industry actions and of which will aid scientists, industry and policy makers, in exploring the complex tradeoffs involved in determining the optimal resource exploitation strategy. In consultation with stakeholders, the models, scenarios and user experience of these DSTs will be developed over the course of the project to ensure they evolve into effective tools to aid policy makers involved in determining the right decisions around how to deliver the EU Green Deal. The webinar will showcase the current progress of the tools and models and demonstrate how they work on the game-changing #EDITO platform, a digital framework that integrates data and services from EMODnet and Copernicus Marine Service. A dynamic Q&A will offer the opportunity to directly engage with our panelists, experts leading new innovative pathways toward providing crucial data needed in support of the EU Mission "Restore our Ocean and Waters by 2030" Register here: https://lnkd.in/eZwx4XX9 EDITO - European Digital Twin Ocean NORCE Norwegian Research Centre Jorn Bruggeman Conor Delaney Marina T.

🌊🌟 Exciting Update! 🌟🌊   Marine Research is proud to announce our significant contributions to the EMODnet platform through multiple high-resolution seabed mapping projects (our organization details: https://lnkd.in/dc3jqdx3). 🌐📊 EMODnet (European Marine Observation and Data Network) is a pivotal initiative by the #EuropeanCommission aimed at centralizing and standardizing marine data for improved accessibility and utility. 🛰️🔬   📅 Our work has contributed to 5 essential projects since 2015. In collaboration with over 120 partner organizations and stakeholders, EMODnet aggregates data into Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) pan-European data layers.   EMODnet integrates data from diverse sources, making it accessible to researchers, policymakers, and industry stakeholders. 🌍📈 This data supports a wide range of activities, from environmental monitoring and marine spatial planning to scientific research and sustainable development of marine resources. 🌿📉   Marine Research’s contributions to these projects have included providing high-quality bathymetric data covering large areas of the Romanian coastline, which is crucial for creating detailed maps of the seafloor. 🗺️🌊 These maps support various marine science and policy initiatives, helping to promote sustainable ocean management and protect marine ecosystems. 🐠🌿   Our collaboration with EMODnet exemplifies our commitment to advancing marine science and supporting sustainable ocean governance. 🌍🤝 Through our shared efforts, we aim to enhance our understanding of Europe’s marine environments and contribute to the global effort of preserving our oceans. 🌏💧   Join us as we celebrate these milestones and explore the exciting advancements we’re working on! 🎉🌊🛰️ See below the areas Marine Research has contributed to the project thus far.   #MarineResearch #EMODnet #SeabedMapping #OceanData #SustainableOceans #Bathymetry #MarineScience #OceanGovernance #MarineConservation #BlueEconomy #OceanMapping #MarineEcosystems #EnvironmentalMonitoring #ResearchAndInnovation #FutureOceans 

DASSH is the MEDIN DAC for marine species and habitats data and was accredited in 2009. Covering all aspects of marine biodiversity, from seabirds to plankton and the related marine habitats, DASSH is committed to supporting the FAIR principles for open data and open science. DASSH is a flagship initiative of the The Marine Biological Association (MBA), and builds on the MBA's historic role in the promotion of marine science. Through partnerships with other UK and European data centres DASSH contributes to both national and international data portals including the NBN Atlas, EMODnet, EurOBIS and GBIF. DASSH collects, manages, archives and publishes data (electronic and physical) and images collected (or collated) by a variety of public and private organizations who undertake biological surveys. DASSH holds data and images from both volunteer and professional surveyors in order to provide a data management and archive service. This service is available to data providers who wish to outsource their data management, ensure legislative compliance or who do not have the facilities to ensure the long-term security of their data. The survey types held vary from one-off surveys or observations, to long-term time series, and monitoring programme data. Species data includes records of marine fauna and flora, while habitat data include biotope or assemblage data.

Enabling the generation and open access to ocean data is key to support ocean science. And yet, despite the multiplication of data from diverse sources, there are major data gaps to fill. The Ocean Decade provides the global ocean community with a unique opportunity to transform the way ocean data and information are produced, shared, managed, and used globally and equitably. During the first webinar in the "Data for the UN Ocean Decade - A European focus" series, co-organised by the #OceanDecade Coordination Office for Ocean Data Sharing, experts from #OceanData will introduce how the data and products developed by European organisations such as the Copernicus Marine Service, EUMETSAT and EMODnet can support the achievement of the 10 ocean-related challenges that we have identified for the Decade. 🗓️ Wednesday, June 19 🕒 14:30-16:30 (CEST) 💻 Online 🔗For more info and registration: https://ow.ly/gNlo50Sk4jt
