EMSO ERIC and partners of the UN Ocean Decade Programme “One Ocean Network for Deep Observation” presented a poster during the One Ocean Science Congress taking place in Nice just before the UNOC3. The poster gave a brief summary on network’s capacity building opportunities and, in order to tailor-made future activities, we would like to ask you to take part in a 9-question only survey.
Capacity building in observations for a sustained stewardship of the deep ocean

The UN Ocean Decade programme “One Ocean Network for Deep Observation (OneDeepOcean)” is a network of seabed & water column observatories from Ifremer, EMSO-ERIC, Ocean Networks Canada and JAMSTEC. It aims at providing integrated knowledge on the functioning of deep-sea ecosystems under global changes, obtaining environmental properties, to enhance efforts in mitigating natural disasters, and to engage citizens with a deep ocean increasingly under pressure due to human activities. Time-series imagery and sensor data from our platforms support world-leading research into how deep-sea organisms respond to habitat disturbance and long-term environmental change. Together we work to expand a joint capacity building initiative that will include for instance students’ mobility and shipboard training. In this poster, we will highlight opportunities for knowledge exchange and capacity building that will allow students and early career ocean professionals to access deep-sea and water column observational facilities. We intend to associate our efforts to establish practices and shared notebooks for time series analysis and AI based image analysis.
