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”.
The most important results of the questionnaire carried out by EMODnet Chemistry to investigate what quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) procedures are currently adopted by laboratories involved in EMODnet Chemistry are presented below, while the background and structure were explained in the web news ‘New information collected for a better assessment of marine pollution’.
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…
The new data collections for eutrophication and contaminants have just been published. Each collection covers one of the following marine regions: Arctic Ocean, Baltic Sea, Greater North Sea, Northeast Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, and Black Sea. They can be found on the EMODnet web portal in the section dedicated to EMODnet Chemistry Data and Products and in the central Products Catalogue.
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.
The European Marine Board (EMB) has released a new report on sustainable management of the offshore renewable sector, titled " Future Science Brief No. 9 European offshore renewable energy: Towards a sustainable future ". While the report highlights the need for increased offshore renewable energy capacity, it also emphasizes the importance of managing the expansion sustainably and responsibly. Furthermore, the report notes that access to industry data remains a significant barrier for offshore…
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 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.
