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…
The EMODnet Biology team is happy to announce the successful outcome of its initiative to engage volunteers to rescue a selection of identified historical biological data using citizen science platforms.
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.
Over the past couple of years EMODnet Biology has been focusing on the development of R packages that allow users to access EMODnet data via OGC webservices.
From 12 September 2022, the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), which coordinates EMODnet Central Portal and EMODnet Biology, together with the EMODnet Secretariat as a hosted partner, will move into the new InnovOcean Campus in Ostend.
Have you ever felt like there was a scientist hiding somewhere in yourself? Well, if that is the case, you can embark on a voluntary effort as a citizen scientist, and contribute to the rescue of invaluable information about marine biodiversity, hiding in voluminous, paper-based expedition reports of the previous centuries!
EMODnet Biology was invited to provide the regional (European) perspective to the International cooperation and coordination in advancing ocean observing and addressing related challenges.
