The second OOI Science Community Workshop will be held on April 29-30, 2010 in Tempe, Arizona. Arizona State University will host 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 will 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 will also be information on and discussions of science scenarios as examples of how the OOI network can be used by researchers and educators to advance a broad range of ocean science and education.
