EMODnet Chemistry data on contaminants underpins a new approach to improve quality control procedures for sediment pollution data. This in turn supports harmonised environmental assessment. The study was described in detail in the scientific paper entitled "Trace metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the Eastern Mediterranean sediments: Concentration ranges as a tool for quality control of large data collections" that is freely available in the current issue of the Marine…
EMODnet together with EC DG MARE are organizing a series of two online workshops on “EMODnet marine data for the offshore renewable energy sector”. The first workshop on 20-21 September 2022 focused on the Northeast Atlantic, North Sea and Baltic Sea.
On 19 May 2022, the first day of European Maritime Day 2022, the European Commission Directorate General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE) and the Joint Research Centre (JRC) released the fifth edition of the EU Blue Economy Report.
Fishing for Data allows commercial fisheries to collect valuable oceanographic data, without any interruptions in the normal fishing activity.
The data are valuable for fisheries and for ocean scientists, modellers and forecasters and are available in EMODnet Physics via collaboration with Berring Data Collective .
The Easter bells brought us the good news that the EMODnet Data Ingestion project is now entering its phase 3 for two years. This confirms the unwavering support of the team work of 43 organizations for streamlining the data ingestion process. The leadership of the project has been confirmed with the Mariene Informatie Service B.V. (MARIS) as coordinator and the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (HCMR) as scientific coordinator.
The Master in Sustainable Blue Growth is an initiative jointly organised by the University of Trieste and the National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics (OGS) to contribute to the EU sustainable blue economy. This latter is one of the key pillars to achieve the EU’s environmental and climate objectives according to the European Green Deal and the Recovery Plan for Europe.
During the Blue-Cloud Hackathon, from 7 to 9 February 2022, the EutroWarn team decided to use EMODnet Chemistry data to propose the development of early warning systems for possible severe eutrophication events.
