Lead institution:
Deep Ocean Observing Strategy – United States of America (USA)
DOOS represents an interconnected network of deep-ocean observing, mapping, exploration, and modelling programs working together for the coming decade to:
- characterize the physics, biogeochemistry and biology of the deep ocean in space and time,
- establish a baseline required to understand changes to its habitats and services, and
- provide the information needed to have a healthy, predicted, resilient and sustainably-managed (deep) ocean.
DOOS will promote the human capital and observing infrastructure needed to address critical scientific and management questions related to the climate, biodiversity and sustainability, while growing a diverse and inclusive next generation of deep-ocean leaders.
This Programme hosts the following Ocean Decade Projects:
Arctic Deep Observation for Multi-sphere Cycling
BORA Blue Ocean Research Alliance
