The first Southern Ocean Observing System (SOOS) Symposium will be held from 14-18 August 2023 in Hobart, Tasmania. It is our pleasure to invite you to this milestone event for the SOOS community.
The SOOS Symposium theme, “Southern Ocean in a Changing World”, recognizes the important role of the Southern Ocean in the Earth system. The Symposium is a forum for assessing our progress so far in providing observing systems, observations and regional programs that deliver timely and accessible information for the Southern Ocean. The Symposium is also an opportunity to address the challenges faced in providing long term observations that address policy and societal issues as well as advancing our scientific understanding of the Southern Ocean.
The Symposium sessions, workshops and plenary presentations provide venues for science discussions around these topics and challenges.
The Call for Abstracts will open in January 2023 and Keynote speakers will be announced in February 2023. Please consider submitting an abstract for the Symposium.
In addition to enjoying a stimulating science program, the first SOOS Symposium is an opportunity to see colleagues and friends. It is also an opportunity to build networks with new colleagues and enjoy the lovely city of Hobart, Tasmania.
We look forward to welcoming you to Hobart and the SOOS Symposium in August 2023.
