\n\t\n\tThe launch of the Second International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE-2) has precipitated a renewed and growing interest in carrying out research in the Indian Ocean over the next 5 years and beyond. Many countries-including Australia, China, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Norway, the United Kingdom, and the United States-are planning cruises and other activities in this time frame, and new regional research programs in the Indian Ocean are under development (Hood et al., 2016).<\/p>\n
Because the funding for IIOE-2 research and societal applications is being generated within each participating country, the preferred model is for each country to have an IIOE-2 national committee with a chairperson who is the point of contact for the IIOE-2 Steering Committee and the IPO framework (IPC, 2015). National IIOE-2 committees have been established in India, Australia, Germany and the UK.A U.S. IIOE-2 Steering Committee was formed (fall 2015)\u00a0in the United States to serve as a coordinating and implementing body for the U.S. contribution to the IIOE-2. This committee is composed of a highly interdisciplinary group of US scientists, all of whom have a strong interest in the Indian Ocean. The committee meets quarterly (via teleconference) and met in person\u00a0at the 2016 Ocean Sciences Meeting in New Orleans.<\/p>\n
