2019年9月16-20日将于美国夏威夷举办的2019海洋观测大会。

CONFERENCE THEMES
Discovery
Much of the ocean remains unexplored. The deep sea is one of the last frontiers of ocean discovery and an integral element of the Earth system. Rapid technology development is expected to lead to more exciting discoveries of the ocean and its physics, chemistry, and biology, which may result in breakthrough in Earth system science.
Ecosystem health & biodiversity
Human society benefits from marine biodiversity and healthy ecosystems that are under increasing pressure from multiple stressors. Observing complex ecosystem, biodiversity, and biogeochemical dynamics in a globally integrated manner is a challenging task of the oceanographic community for next decade.
Climate variability & change
Monitoring, understanding, and predicting oceanic variations associated with natural climate variability and human-induced changes informs societies on how to plan and adapt to climate impacts. Ocean observers play a key role in shaping climate strategies.
Water, food, & energy security
To sustain provisional and regulating services from the ocean, communication between oceanographers and multiple stakeholders is indispensable in planning and implementing ocean observation and monitoring.
Pollution & human health
Ocean observations are discovering that human activities on-land and at-sea are polluting the oceans at increasing concentrations and depths. Plastic pollution has also captivated the public’s attention and observers are finding that their impacts extend to the deepest points of our ocean. Monitoring and assessing these pollutants from source-to-sinks is needed for better management to sustain ocean and human health.
Hazards & maritime safety
Improving ocean forecasts, seasonal and weather predictions, and hazard monitoring translates to more advanced maritime safety, search and rescue, natural disaster prediction, and weather impact resiliency. These observations protect lives and livelihoods from hazards such as tsunami, storm surges, marine heat waves, and the growing prevalence of extreme weather events.
Blue economy
Ocean observing data, products, and services underpin the blue economy. Determining how societies leverage ocean businesses, industry sectors, and sustainable economic development is a priority for the next decade.
These societal benefit themes will be examined by their relationship to ocean observing and how information products can be best supported through the observing system themes: observing system governance, data & information systems, and observing technologies & networks.
