SCAR/SCOR Expert Group on Oceanography
The SCAR/SCOR Expert Group on Oceanography now forms the Southern Ocean Observing System (SOOS) Scientific Steering Committee. The Southern Ocean Observing System (SOOS) is an initiative of SCAR, SCOR, POGO, WCRP, GOOS and other international bodies, with the mission to establish a multidisciplinary observing system to deliver the sustained observations of the Southern Ocean. These observations are needed to address key challenges of scientific and societal relevance, including climate change, sea-level rise, and the impacts of global change on marine ecosystems.
The chairs of the SOOS Steering Committee are Mike Meredith and John Gunn. The SOOS Executive Officer is Louise Newman (Louise.Newman@utas.edu.au).
For further details, see the SOOS Update on activities in 2011 or visit the SOOS website.
