EMODnet Chemistry has recently made available online the new aggregated, harmonised and validated collections of unrestricted marine litter data. In particular, three collections have been published in the EMODnet Products catalogue containing high quality data for floating micro-litter, seafloor litter and beach litter.
EMODnet was pleased to exhibit at the ICES Annual Science Conference 2023 which took place in Bilbao, Spain on 11-15 September 2023. ICES is a key stakeholder to EMODnet, with ICES being a partner and data provider to multiple EMODnet thematics, including Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Data Ingestion. EMODnet experts are also members of a number of ICES Working Groups. The event also saw the launch of the OSPAR Quality Status Report 2023, to which EMODnet data/data products contributed.
On 26-27 September 2023, EMODnet together with the European Commission DG MARE organised an online workshop on ‘’EMODnet Marine Data for Coastal Tourism’’. The workshop was attended by over 42 coastal tourism experts with representatives from diverse sectors including industry, research, policy, marine data services and non-governmental agencies. EMODnet was well represented by thematic experts from geology, human activities, physics, Data Ingestion, Central Portal and…
In the framework of Back To Blue , the Economist Group and the Nippon Foundation, the initiative co-founders, invited EMODnet Chemistry to share their experience at the invitation-only workshop “Building a federated architecture of interoperable databases”.
On 27-30 June 2023, EMODnet Physics Coordinating organization, ETT, Italy was a co-organizer of the Ocean Data Week, an event held during The Ocean Race Finale in Genoa, Italy. The event brought together experts from EMODnet Secretariat, Physics, Chemistry and Data Ingestion together with wider stakeholders from the European Commission DG MARE, RTD, IOC-UNESCO, research, civil society and the private sector to exchange on topics spanning European Ocean Observation, the Marine Knowledge Value…
Since the proposal of Blue-Cloud 2026, the importance of EMODnet Chemistry for this project and vice versa is crystal clear. Let us find out why together and see what happens.
On 30 March EMODnet Physics together with SMHI, marine sensor developers, citizen science initiatives, TransEurope Marinas and other international organizations and institutes attended Chalmers Filling Coastal Data Gaps - Let's Do it Ourselves!". The activity is a marine citizen science low-code, low-cost sensor course for 110 2nd year Industrial Economics MSc students at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, running throughout spring 2023. Divided into teams the students will…
EMODnet Chemistry's contribution to tackling ocean acidification was presented by Elisabeth Kubin, researcher of the National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics - OGS, at the 5th International Symposium on Climate Change Impacts on the World Ocean - ECCWO5.
More than ever before, European marine data are working together primarily through a consolidated flow of data from a plethora of different data producers to EMODnet Ingestion and from there to thematic EMODnet Lots. EMODnet Chemistry has 6 success stories, which are detailed below.
The EMOD-network participated in force at the second edition of the International Ocean Data Conference (IODC-II) on 20-21 March 2023 where the recent EMODnet unification of services was presented, together with dialogues on EMODnet’s contribution to FAIR data and the Global Ocean Data Ecosystem, together with its active input to the UN Ocean Decade Data and Information Strategy. EMODnet was also well represented at the 27th session of the International Oceanographic Data and…
