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 Information…
The Stakeholder consultation enabled the EMODnet Chemistry Partnership to identify and analyse new needs and gaps. This information serves as the basis for refining and improving the collaboration, resulting in more complete, efficient and user-oriented data, data products and services.
Back to Blue , an initiative of Economist Impact and The Nippon Foundation, is launching a global call to action entitled ‘The Zero-Pollution Ocean: a call to close the evidence gap’.
On 23 and 24 January 2023, marine environmental research scientist Mrs. Claudia Coman, data ambassador for EMODnet Ingestion in Cyprus, participated as observer to the Cyprus International Defence and Security Conference in Limassol.
The event was organized under the auspices of the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Cyprus and the Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The conference was attended by, and included discussions with eminent personalities both from Cyprus and abroad…
Dear EMODnet partners, colleagues and friends,
It has become a tradition: at the beginning of every new year, we take a moment to reflect with you on the previous year, to take stock of EMODnet’s achievements and look forward to what the coming year will bring for our growing network of data providing partners, service implementers and users.
On 18-20 January 2023 EMODnet Chemistry participated in a workshop of the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) on the revision of the format for marine litter data in the ICES Environmental Database. The hybrid event took place in Copenhagen (Denmark) and online.
On behalf of EMODnet Chemistry, the Coordinating institute National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics (OGS) recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). This is the leading organisation within the United Nations system in the field of environment, working to conserve, protect, enhance and sustain nature and natural resources, including biodiversity, worldwide.
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…
