GLOMOS is participating in the 2nd 🌍 World Network of Mountain Biosphere Reserves (WNMBR) workshop, which is taking place from 24-27 September in the Ordino Biosphere Reserve, Andorra.   The opening was attended by Guillem Casal, Andorra’s Environment and Agriculture Minister and various local authorities.   Around 40 participants from 22 countries are having roundtable discussions, are exchanging ideas and addressing the global challenges that the protected areas of the Biosphere Reserves in mountain areas are facing.   🔍 Insights from this seminar will help shape contributions to the upcoming MAB Programme Action Plan, set for approval next year. GLOMOS is continuing to support the WMNBR with its scientific expertise, aiming at carrying out research together with the Biosphere Reserves on their social-ecological systems, to improve monitoring of relevant changes and to contribute to sustaining and protecting them.   Eurac Research United Nations University - Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS) #BiosphereReserves #Sustainability #MABProgramme 🌿🌍 #WNMBR #Sustainabledevelopment #Mountains #MountainsMatter

Oxygen Minimum Zones, or OMZs, are areas in the water column with less oxygen, primarily due to naturally occurring physical and biological processes within the Ocean. The core of the OMZ is anoxic, making them inhospitable to most large animals, yet microbes have adapted to live and thrive in this oxygen-starved environment. During the #OxygenMinimumMicrobes Expedition, an international team of researchers is working in the eastern tropical South Pacific off the coast of Chile. They strive to deepen our scientific knowledge of OMZs, which have substantial ecological significance, and this research will help us to predict and understand the future health of the ocean, our atmosphere, and the humans who depend on these resources for survival.

To continuously improve international regulations about #mercury, knowledge about its #spatial distribution is important. We used #seabirds as bioindicators to map Hg contamination across the North Atlantic Arctic. https://lnkd.in/efBV2ejG This work was possible because of the international collaboration between the network ARCTOX https://lnkd.in/eqNEWJ5x and the SEATRACK Program https://lnkd.in/eYQzyegb Hopefully, this will bring new insights into where to put the international priorities Jérôme Fort Littoral Environnement et Sociétés (LIENSs) La Rochelle Université Institut polaire français Paul-Émile Victor CNRS - Centre national de la recherche scientifique CNRS ecologie Agencerecherche NINA - Norsk institutt for naturforskning

Submit your abstract for The AMSA & NZMSS 2024 Conference symposia before 15/March/2024. Advancements in Monitoring, Modelling, and Forecasting Water Quality for Sustainable Estuarine and Coastal Ecosystems Convenors: Nagur Cherukuru (CSIRO) , Tim Ingleton (NSW Department of Planning and Environmen), Mark Doubell (South Australian Research and Development Institute) Estuarine and coastal aquatic ecosystems worldwide face a significant challenge of water quality degradation, driven by both natural processes and anthropogenic influences. This degradation adversely affects crucial aspects such as aquatic biogeochemistry, underwater light availability, water column productivity, and benthic habitats. The consequences of declining water quality extend to disruptions in the functioning of aquatic ecosystems, ultimately leading to socio-economic losses for human populations reliant on these resources. Consequently, there is an urgent need to employ comprehensive monitoring, modelling, and forecasting strategies to develop sustainable management approaches for estuarine and coastal ecosystems. This symposium aims to unite experts, researchers, and practitioners specializing in estuarine and coastal water quality. The event seeks to facilitate discussions on the latest advancements in monitoring, modelling, and forecasting techniques, providing a platform for sharing cutting-edge research, innovative methodologies, and successful case studies. Key topics to be addressed include progress in sensor networks, remote sensing applications, ecosystem modelling, machine learning models, and integrated monitoring and forecasting approaches. Abstract submissions and active participation are encouraged in this symposium dedicated to advancing the science and application of monitoring, modelling, and forecasting, with a specific focus on sustainable management of estuarine and coastal water quality. #AMSA2024 #AquawatchAustralia #remotesensing #insitusensing #forecasting #waterquality https://lnkd.in/gkN8Esv2

It was an interesting exchange regarding the standardization of #citizenscience practices for #freshwater investigation during the workshop organized by OTTERS Project colleagues at the #ecsa24 conference. Looking forward to learning more about the workshop outcomes! #BOKU #ecosystemservices #aquaticresources

The Mission Ocean Atlantic & Arctic Lighthouse (A-AAGORA - Atlantic Artic Agora, CLIMAREST, OCEAN CITIZEN and soon other projects) will start, as of today, collaborating with the All-Atlantic Ocean Research and Innovation Alliance through the OKEANO CSA. The Kick Off Meeting is happening at the JPI Oceans office in Brussels. The OKEANO Consortium is coordinated by the Marine Institute and it is composed by additional 15 partners: AIR Centre - Atlantic International Research Centre (Portugal), KDM / Konsortium Deutsche Meeresforschung / German Marine Research Consortium (Germany); Plataforma Oceánica de Canarias (PLOCAN) (Spain); Ifremer (France); Alfred Wegner Institute - AWI (Gemany); IMAR (Cabo Verde); CNPq - Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (Brazil); Secretaría de Innovación, Ciencia y Tecnología (Argentina), Ministère De L'enseignement Superieur, De La Recherche Scientifique et de L'innovation (Morocco), Institute of Marine Research (IMR), Norway, Science Crunchers (Portugal), Department of Science and Innovation (South Africa), SAEON (South Africa), and Université Ibn Tofail. Additional partners of the AAORIA Declaration, NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (USA), Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (UK) will work closely with the consortium to achieve the expected outcomes.

First leg of the MSM129 expedition on Maria S Merian finished in St. John's Canada. Focus was on the Deutsche Allianz Meeresforschung (DAM) - Kontaktprofil Underway data pilot project. Optimizing workflows for e.g. ADCP processing with https://lnkd.in/eww3Jiuh, real-time data transmission, metadata workflow from bridge controlled event log, and see what is needed to implement "adaptive sampling" into a non-science controlled underway data environment - using the case of "uncharted potential seamounts" - all relevant in the context of Pangaea.de, EuroGO-SHIP Project and ocean observing in general Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS)

Did you know that Plankton are amongst the most diverse groups of organisms on earth? They are essential to supporting the primary production and nutrient cycling in the ocean. At the MBA, we are home to the Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) Survey. Designed in the 1920s by Sir Alister Hardy, the CPR unit collects and filters plankton, helping us to understand the importance of natural changes and human-induced changes in our ocean. 🌟 In 2023 we launched the iCPR project which aims to enhance global plankton monitoring capabilities! The iCPR is equipped with advanced sensors, capturing key environmental variables and detailed plankton imaging using a holographic camera; enabling us to visualise biological contents without disintegrating cell structures. 🌊 The CPR Survey is now trialling the iCPR in the Irish Sea, Norwegian Sea, Labrador Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. ➡️ The role of the iCPR sampler is taking our understanding of the ocean to the next level.
