EarthScope-Oceans is a multidisciplinary group of geoscientists coordinating efforts to create a global network of seismic sensors that monitor the Earth from within the oceanic environment.
EarthScope-Oceans shepherds national projects into the international arena where globally relevant, applicable, and mutually agreed-upon decisions can be made on instrument development, science objectives, data management, and outreach.
With MERMAID technology developing, EarthScope Oceans is becoming more multidisciplinary by including seismologists, acousticians, biologists, geochemists, meteorologists, oceanographers and environmental scientists. Collaboration with existing ocean-observing programs will enable complementary observation of ocean temperature, bathymetry, salinity, and biogeochemical tracers, and cost-effective instrument deployment and recovery by ships.
Start Date: 15/01/2021
End Date: 15/01/2031
This project is hosted by the Decade Programme Ocean Observing CoDesign – Evolving ocean observing for a sustainable future.
