BioGeoSCAPES

2nd Canada National Workshop
2023-05-01 - 2023-05-02 | Halifax
2nd Canada National Workshop: May 1-2, Halifax, organized by and Erin Bertrand and Maite Maldonado

Virtual Panel/Webinar on International Data Management and Repository Collaborations for BioGeoSCAPES.
2023-08-30 11:00 (America/Halifax)
BioGeoSCAPES Data Management and Informatics Webinar
Data Management Strategies and Challenges in Large Programs

Summary:
One of the challenges facing large research programs is the ability to manage and archive datasets. In this panel we will gather experts with experience in data management for oceanographic research programs and hear about their experiences. We will have a discussion with the community about the challenges they have faced and what challenges an interdisciplinary program like BioGeoSCAPES will face. Audience participation will be invited to collect ideas from the community using online tools. A future webinar will be focused on data integration and management strategies. Together these webinars will help contribute to a workshop on data management and informatics. Register to access the zoom link .

Overall Theme: What can we learn from other ocean, data-rich programs to help create a successful international BioGeoSCAPES data model?

Panelists:
Stéphane Pesant – European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI)
Reiner Schlitzer – Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research
Danie Kinkade – Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office
Karen Stocks – CLIVAR and Carbon Hydrographic Data Office (CCHDO)

International BioGeoSCAPES science planning workshop
2023-11-06 - 2023-11-09 | Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
The NSF-funded Accelnet Development of an International Network for the Study of Ocean Metabolism and Nutrient Cycles on a Changing Planet (BioGeoSCAPES) convened an international BioGeoSCAPES science planning workshop on 6-9 November 2023 at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (with hybrid option).
The objectives of this workshop were to:
1) Facilitate community building and collaboration across nations and disciplines
2) Identify the scientific rationales for future international BioGeoSCAPES science activities and outline the BioGeoSCAPES science plan
Find related national and other program reports on the RESOURCES page.

Participation
Registration is closed.
In-person participation is capped at ~80 people with representation across nations, disciplines, etc., to ensure that we are able to have focused discussions that will inform the delivery of the workshop goals. There will also be a series of virtual brainstorming sessions spanning different time zones leading up to the workshop to enable even broader input ahead of the workshop.
Partial travel stipends will be available on an as-needed basis, and more details will be provided as the date draws closer.

OSM24 Town Hall: Accelerating Toward an International BioGeoSCAPES Program
2024-02-20 13:30 - 14:30 (America/New_York) | New Orleans Convention Center, 900 Convention Center Blvd., Second Floor, Room 225-227, New Orleans, LA, 70130, United States
Join us at Ocean Sciences Meeting 2024! This town hall will report BioGeoSCAPES activities associated with: 1) An international workshop held in November 2023 to develop the BioGeoSCAPES science plan. 2) Education and training activities, funded by a US NSF AccelNet award, including the launch of the first cohort of a BioGeoSCAPES fellows programme, webinars and summer schools. The town hall will disseminate information, build community engagement, and gather feedback on BioGeoSCAPES progress and plans.

2024-04-12 - 2024-06-15
We are excited to announce the launch of a second BioGeoSCAPES Fellows cohort funded by the NSF AccelNet award. This program brings together an international, interdisciplinary cohort of early career (postdocs and senior graduate students) researchers working in the areas of ocean metabolism, biogeochemical cycling, biological oceanography, chemical oceanography, and marine microbiology. We encourage applicants from both experimental and modeling backgrounds. Each Fellow will each receive a professional development award that can be used for travel related to laboratory exchanges, courses, workshops or conferences. Fellows will participate in monthly networking events for at least one year, as well as an in-person workshop in summer or fall 2025. Postdoctoral researchers and senior graduate students from any nation who are working on BioGeoSCAPES-relevant research are eligible to apply.
Application requirements:
Fill out Google Form application and send abbreviated (2-page) CV to info@biogeoscapes.org. Applications are due June 15, 2024. Applicants will be informed by August, and cohort activities will begin September, 2024. Applications will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

Applicant’s readiness level to benefit from professional development activities of the Fellows Program
Quality, novelty, and relevance (to BioGeoSCAPES mission) of applicant’s research activities to date
Applicant’s authentic experience and/or interest in interdisciplinary research endeavors
Applicant’s leadership experience and/or potential to help advance the BioGeoSCAPES mission

EGU General Assembly: Session 3.1: Understanding ocean ecosystems, biogeochemical cycles and their responses to climate change
2024-04-17 - 2024-04-18 | Vienna, Austria, Vienna, Austria
Join us in Vienna, Austria, April 17 and 18, 2024, for the EGU General Assembly, Ocean Sciences Session 3.1: Understanding ocean ecosystems, biogeochemical cycles and their responses to climate change. This session invites submissions, from both observations and modeling efforts, that address the impact of historical variability and climate change on net primary production, biogeochemical cycling of nutrients and oxygen, and the ocean carbon cycle, including cascading effects for marine ecosystems to modulate biodiversity and ecosystem services.
BioGeoSCAPES Fellow, Meriel Bittner, will present a poster, “BioGeoSCAPES: Ocean metabolism and nutrient cycles on a changing planet”, on Wed, 17 Apr, 16:15–18:00 (CEST) Hall X4 | X4.27.
