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.
