The second OOI Science Community Workshop is being held this week (April 29-30, 2010) in Tempe, Arizona. Arizona State University is hosting the meeting, which is designed to introduce ocean scientists, engineers, educators and the broader science community to the full scope of the OOI network design and capabilities.
Presentations and discussions focus on descriptions of the OOI construction design, technology development, multi-disciplinary sensors to be deployed and the timeline for construction, data availability and data access. There is also information and discussion of science scenarios as examples of how the OOI network can be used by researchers and educators to advance ocean science and education.
