The 2019 OCB Summer Workshop will be held June 24-27, 2019 in Woods Hole, MA.
The workshop will begin with breakfast on June 24 and end with lunch on June 27.
Registration is OPEN as of 1 April 2019 and will close when we reach 180 participants.
The 2019 Plenary Sessions are:
- Anthropogenic changes in ocean oxygen: Coastal and open ocean perspectives (Monday)
Chairs: Julie Granger, Adam Martiny, Alyson Santoro, and Ben Twining - Approaches and challenges to understanding biogeochemical cycling across the land-ocean aquatic continuum (Tuesday)
Chairs: Marjy Friedrichs, Eileen Hofmann, Raleigh Hood, and Maria Tzortziou - Calcification and the carbon cycle (Wednesday)
Chair: Andrea Fassbender and Jessica Cross - Carbon cycle feedbacks from the seafloor (Wednesday)
Chair: Clare Reimers - The effect of size on ocean processes (allometry) and implications for export (Thursday)

OCIM Workshop June 23 at OCB 2019
This workshop is full! If you are interested in the OCIM but can't attend the workshop please seek Tim out during OCB2019 or contact him by email.
A 1-day workshop in Woods Hole on Sunday, June 23 just before the OCB workshop for those interested in using an ocean circulation inverse model (OCIM) in their research. The OCIM is a data-constrained, lightweight, MATLAB-based ocean circulation model for global modeling of biogeochemical tracers. It has been used to model nutrients, carbon, oxygen, trace metals, and marine food webs, among others. Workshop participants will be provided with model code and instructions, and will engage in tutorial sessions designed to promote familiarity with the model and ability to design and run biogeochemical simulations. Examples of topics that might be covered include: age and water-mass tracers, preformed tracers, diagnostic calculations, transient tracers, air-sea gas exchange, organic matter production and remineralization, isotopes, non-linear models and Newton's method, iterative solvers, and optimization. Requirements: a laptop computer with MATLAB installed and at least 8 GB RAM. Recommended: Working knowledge of MATLAB. Please direct questions to Tim DeVries at tdevries@geog.ucsb.edu.
