TRICUSO colleagues Peter Landschützer (VLIZ) and Toste Tanhua (GEOMAR) discussed the importance of using citizen science platforms to help expand the capacity of important ocean observation.

TRICUSO lead coordinator Richard Sanders (NORCE) is joining the WMO Global Greenhouse Gas Watch (G3W) task force in his role as Director, ICOS Ocean Thematic Centre. This presents a great opportunity to ensure stronger links and synergies toward TRICUSO’s goal to innovate the Southern Ocean observation value chain in support of delivering quality data to the WMO G3W.

TRICUSO colleague Toste Tanhua (GEOMAR and SOOP) presented thoughts on how current regulations are hindering ocean observation for societal benefit and how a change could support efficient ocean observation in the European Union for the Ocean Pact. This policy brief was discussed and shared at two events.

TRICUSO’s partners Siv Kari Lauvset (NORCE) and Toste Tanhua (GEOMAR) joined their GLODAP colleagues for an intense workshop toward the delivery of GLODAPv3 2025, which culminated in an insightful event in Brussels with stakeholders from international and intergovernmental organisations, initiatives and projects.

The newly minted consortium kicked off the project and the new year with a meeting at partner NOC’s headquarters in Southampton. Through a series of informative sessions, we learned about the technical advancements partners have previously achieved of which we will be building on to innovate and trial new sensors on autonomous platforms, floats and racing yachts.
