Please join the OOIFB for a Town Hall event at the December 2024 American Geophysical Union (AGU) Meeting in Washington, DC! Updates on the NSF OOI Facility will be provided, as well as an interactive community discussion with observatory representatives about adjacent research activities (opportunities and challenges). Participants will have a chance to ask questions of the OOIFB, OOI Program, and NSF as well as discuss the OOI primary investigator (PI) proposal process and identify opportunities for PI-added instruments. Community feedback is key- please provide your comments/questions in advance (or after) the Town Hall event, here.
Researchers who are using or are considering using observatory data, scientists interested in adding instrumentation to the OOI infrastructure, and educators at all levels are encouraged to attend this event. Details are included below.
