Town Hall Title: 926-TH08 Ocean Observatories Initiative Facility Board (OOIFB) Town Hall
Date and Time: Friday, February 25, 2022, from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM Eastern Standard Time
Location: Online Everywhere – OSM 2022 is entirely virtual
Agenda: The agenda is available here.

The workshop is aimed at researchers who are using or are considering using OOI data and/or adding instrumentation to OOI infrastructure and educators at all levels interested in using data from the OOI’s Arrays. We hope to see you at the OOIFB Town Hall!
Lightning Talks
The Town Hall will also include a series of lightning talks where scientists are invited to present one slide in one minute explaining how they have used (or plan to use) freely available observatory data in their respective research. We hope you will consider presenting a slide in the lightning session.
Time during the Town Hall is limited and we will accommodate as many lightning talks as feasible during the Town Hall. However, all submitted lightning talks will have the opportunity to be presented during the Ocean Sciences Meeting. The OOIFB has teamed with the OOI booth exhibitor to offer a time slot during the meeting to highlight all of the lightning talks.
Sign up now to present a lightning talk – The deadline to apply to present a lightning talk during the OOIFB Town Hall has passed. However, there is still space to sign up to present during the Lightning Talks Redux at the OOI Booth on March 3rd, 2022. If you are using observatory data and wish to present at the OOI Booth, please apply here by February 18, 2022.
Funding Available for OSM Registration Fee – Please note, all participants and presenters during the OOIFB Town Hall must be registered for the 2022 Ocean Sciences Meeting. Funding is available to offset the registration fees for students and early career scientists (ECS) who are presenting a lightning talk. Funding is limited and the first 20 student/ECS applications will be considered for reimbursement. The Lightning Talk application form includes space for requesting OSM registration reimbursement.
The Ocean Sciences Meeting registration links, FAQ, and other information can be found on the Ocean Sciences Meeting website. OSM 2022 will begin with workshops and town halls on February 24-25, 2022 and will continue with the scientific program February 28 – March 4, 2022.
