To present their work and explore emerging research on the ocean, a number of our scientists and staff are attending the 2020 Ocean Sciences Meeting (OSM) from February 16 through February 21 at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California. This international meeting brings together scientists, educators, students, and other professionals for scientific exchanges about all aspects of marine sciences and oceanography.

Check out the topics below to learn more about some of the products and services that our scientists are highlighting at the meeting. Follow #OSM20 and #NCEIatOSM on social media for more updates on the Ocean Sciences Meeting and our contributions to it.

The meeting is co-sponsored by the American Geophysical Union, the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography, and The Oceanography Society.

Visit the NOAA NCEI Booth

We’ll be at the NOAA NCEI booth (#222) at the 2020 Ocean Sciences Meeting from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM PT Tuesday through Thursday, so stop by and visit. NCEI oceanographers, meteorologists, and other scientists will be available to talk with you and answer any questions you may have about our ocean-related products and services.

Two NCEI scientists will be presenting during our “Catch of the Day” talks at the booth:

  • Charles Anderson, CruisePack: A Tool to Facilitate Submission and Archiving of Cruise-Based Data, Tuesday, February 18, 4:10 PM-4:20 PM PT

  • Kate Rose, Transforming Seafloor Geomorphic Data into Useful Habitat Information, Wednesday, February 19, 10:10 AM-10:20 AM PT

Join Us for a Town Hall and Q&A

On Wednesday, February 19, NCEI will lead a Town Hall and Q&A focusing on NCEI’s mission as a data archive as well as showcasing the latest developments in our products and services. The Town Hall will take place from 12:45 PM to 1:45 PM PT at the San Diego Convention Center, room SDCC 3-UL. The event opens a dialogue directly with our leadership for those interested in our coastal, ocean, and marine data. It’s the opportunity for attendees to learn more about our archives and ask questions ranging from data ingest to how to access products.
