EMODnet Jamboree Joint Session: EMODnet dialogue: Citizen Science

How to connect:
use following zoom link https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcudOqupjktHdB5qztUTD-A6tRZpghLdaA7

Short outline: EMODnet is increasingly expanding and diversifying its collaborations and partnerships with data providers and users. There are already some tangible examples of where EMODnet cooperates with citizen science projects e.g. EMODnet Physics and EMODnet Chemistry. This workshop will explore these existing collaborations, hear from invited experts about wider citizen science initiatives and discuss how EMODnet in its next phase can more systematically link with citizen science to not only expand the data provision from citizen science, but also find ways to encourage citizen science to work closer with EMODnet across the full value chain.

The event will touch:
  • EC DG MARE intervention on EMODnet next phase
  • Setting the Scene: Presentation to set the scene on the interaction between EMODnet and marine citizen science in Europe.
  • Case studies of Citizen Science for EMODnet: Four case studies from citizen science communities across the value chain.
  • Panel Discussion: Panel and plenary discussions on three topics covering the technical challenges for citizen science data and upgrading knowledge of citizen science within the EMODnet platform.

Call for posters – EMODnet Open Conference 2021

EMODnet welcomes the EMOD-network and wider community to submit abstracts for posters relating directly to EMODnet open access data, data products, applications and interoperability across data services, across the following themes:
  • EMODnet contributors (data collection and ocean observation, data providers, data management initiatives and infrastructures, etc.);
  • EMODnet for users (use cases of EMODnet data and data products by policy, research, industry, civil society, other);
  • EMODnet for innovation (development of added value products and applications using EMODnet data and data products);
  • EMODnet partnerships (collaboration with other services and stakeholders, and contribution to EU and global initiatives).
All posters should directly reference, and have a tangible link, with EMODnet e.g. as a data contributor, service provider, user, application, and/or partnership. You are invited to submit your abstract using the dedicated form by 6 April 2021.
Once received, your abstract will be reviewed and validated by the co-organisers. All approved abstracts will need to produce an electronic poster which will be made available fully online for participants.

EMODnet Physics: interpolation of velocity measurements -Charles Troupin, Alexander Barth (GHER, University of Liege)

GHER, released the DIVAnd tool for surface current field interpolation. The tool uses HFR velocity measurements (as available from EMODnet Physics portal).
The code developed specifically for the project (data reading, plotting etc) is stored on the ULiège GitLab repository: https://gitlab.uliege.be/gher/diva-emodnetphysics.
The code developed for the interpolation of high-frequency radar data is available on GitHub: https://github.com/gher-ulg/DIVAnd_HFRadar.jl

ARCTIC DATA PORTAL

In November, an Arctic Data Portal was launched to improve the availability, quality, timeliness, and accessibility of essential marine in situ data from the Arctic region. The Portal is a joint initiative of EMODnet, CMEMS, INSTAC, Copernicus In Situ Coordination Group and EuroGOOS, and was implemented under EMODnet Physics. The project started with two events: a kick-off meeting (20 November) bringing together representatives from Copernicus, EMODnet, European Polar Board, the Southern Ocean Observing System, the Arctic Data Committee, and EuroGOOS, and a dedicated webinar (27 November) attracting over 100 attendees in 24 countries to discuss the role of the Portal for unlocking new data that will improve the marine services in the Arctic. Explore the Portal here.
