Strength in Synergies
No project is an island alone in a sea as vast as the Southern Ocean. TRICUSO partners will engage with many European and international organisations, programmes, networks and projects in multiple ways throughout the project’s four year life-cycle, to collaborate and share insights around technical innovations, data management, governance and how to effectively connect the efforts of multiple RIs and platforms together to address the key issue of Southern Ocean carbon uptake in a sustainable manner.
Key National & International Programmes
GOOS: Global Ocean Observing System, key component of IOC dealing with coordinating observing Systems. Model for networks operating together.
EOOS: European Ocean Observing System coordination within Europe coordinating framework for European in-situ ocean Observing.
GCP: Global Carbon Project; key organisation responsible for assembling annual estimates of planetary carbon cycling, potential for closing model data gap in estimates of ocean carbon uptake.
IPCC: Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Communicate potential for closing model data gap.
G7 FSOI: G7 Future of the Seas and Oceans Initiative. Vision for joined up contribution by European RIs to Southern Ocean Observing.
IPBES: Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES). Communication of plan for Ocean Biodiversity observing within GO-SHIP.
SCOR: Scientific Community on Ocean Research. Vision for joined up contribution by European RIs to Southern Ocean Observing.
BEERI: Board of European Environmental research infrastructures. Structural changes need to RI operating models to allow RIs to fully work together within G3W, ICOS HO.
JPI Oceans: Pan European initiative permitting European states to work together on problems of mutual interest. Contact via EOOS operations committee.
UN Decade: UN Decade for Sustainable Oceans. Relevant for Challenge 7: Expand the Global Ocean Observing System: Ensure a sustainable ocean observing system across all ocean basins that delivers accessible, timely, and actionable data and information to all users and Challenge 9: Skills, knowledge and technology for all. Ensure comprehensive capacity development and equitable access to data, information, knowledge and technology across all aspects of ocean science and for all stakeholders.
ERIC forum: Key EU action that brings together the ERIC community to strengthen its coordination and enhance its collaborations. Structural changes need to RI operating models to allow RIs to fully work together within ICOSHO.
UNFCCC: United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
NOAA: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Key US organisation responsible for coordinating US contributions to GOOS. Model for networks operating together.
SCAR: Scientific Community on Antarctic Research. Vision for joined up contribution by European RIs to Southern Ocean Observing.
Networks
EuroGOOS: Coordinating framework for European in-situ ocean observing, Model for networks operating together, communicated via de Roeck, Argo chair.
SOOS: Southern Ocean Observing System: presentation at SOOS.
GEOBON: Biodiversity Observation Network Communication of plan for Ocean Biodiversity observing within GO-SHIP.
Projects
To collaborate and benefit from the sharing of insights and hindsight, TRICUSO will engage with a wide range of projects that share common objectives in support of understanding ocean carbon and improving the ocean observation system.
GEORGE – Next Generation Multiplatform Ocean Observing Technologies for Research Infrastructures. GEORGE is a Horizon Europe-funded project (2023-2027) that develops novel technologies to improve ocean carbon observations. The technologies developed will represent the next level in systematic long-term autonomous ocean observations. The project focuses on four main goals: novel sensor and sampler technologies, enhancements in existing observing platforms, improvements in the usability of ocean data, and training for marine RI professionals. The project brings together three marine RIs: Euro-Argo ERIC, EMSO ERIC and ICOS ERIC. TRICUSO builds on the work conducted in GEORGE and we share many of the same partners.
EuroGO-SHIP: the Horizon Europe project seeks to enable the European community conducting hydrographic observations at sea to provide higher quality and more sustainable data flows to a broad range of end users, more effectively. The project will lay the groundwork toward the ambition of a EuroGO-SHIP Research Infrastructure to ensure ongoing services needed by ship-based hydrographers.
SOOP: Innovation platform of the German Helmholtz Association “Shaping an Ocean Of Possibilities for science-industry collaboration’. Contributes significant impetus to the SubCtech, Yachts and GEOMAR tasks.
AMRIT: All Marine Research Infrastructures Together is a Horizon Europe project to integrate effort from multiple RIs together.
OceanICU: The Horizon Europe project focusses on understanding the ocean carbon cycle, producing new data, improved models and decision support tools (DSTs) to help industry and policy better manage the ocean.
SO-CHIC: Horizon Europe project focused on understanding and quantifying the variability of heat and carbon budgets in the Southern Ocean.
OCEAN:ICE: Horizon Europe project focused on understanding how the Antarctic ice sheet and the surrounding Southern Ocean influence our global climate.
SeaO2CDR: Strategies for the Evaluation and Assessment Of Ocean based Carbon Dioxide Removal. Horizon Europe project focussed on understanding the nascent ocean CO2 CDR industry from a variety of perspectives.
