Marine Biodiversity Networking Friday on low-cost technology practices for ocean observation
14 April, 2023 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
On April 14th, 2023, 1-2:30 PM UTC The AIR Centre, GeoBON and MBON will have a special session dedicated to the development of low-cost practices and technologies for ocean observation. Science faces an accessibility challenge. Although the information is fast becoming available, the experience of science is significantly limited. One approach to solving this challenge is to democratize access to scientific tools.
In this session, Lucie Cocquempot is presenting the ongoing work of the OBPS Task Team on “Standard Operating Procedures/Best Practices for Coastal Observations in under-resourced countries, issues behind low-tech practices and ongoing considerations on the need to share knowledge. Colomban de Vargas and Gérard Zinzindohoué utilizing examples from past work and a community-driven science framework will share a broader vision of building new tools for frugal oceanography. Anthony Ndah – ECOP Africa coordinator will be moderating. Learn more here.
The Networking Fridays Webinar Series was endorsed as a UN Ocean Decade Activity and this is a UN Ocean Decade Event.
