First Cruise for European Bio-GO-SHIP
TRICUSO is supporting Europe’s contributions to the important International Bio-GO-SHIP programme. Learn about the first cruise that delivered on this objective from Sophie Clayton.
Call to Action for Ocean Carbon Enthusiasts: Observers, Scientists, Policymakers and Wider Society
The European Ocean Carbon Summit is a campaign driven by a coalition of Horizon Europe projects focussed on ocean carbon to jointly summarise the aims and achievements of this EU investment portfolio and make recommendations for future funding actions; findings will be presented at an public event in Brussels.
A New SOOP Line in the Southern Ocean – MV Pharos
Down Under in the Southern Ocean, the TRICUSO team has achieved another great success with the implementation of a surface pCO₂ sensor – an underway system on the MV Pharos, enabling crucial measurements of the surface ocean’s uptake of carbon.
Passive Acoustic Sensor Capabilities (M12&15)
Wind drives ocean circulation, mediates the air and sea gas exchange and shapes biogeochemical processes. Yet, we have a shortage of direct wind measurements in the Southern Ocean where the most important conditions are the hardest to observe. See how TRICUSO is addressing this challenge by trialing profiling floats equipped with passive acoustic sensors.
First Project Factsheet (M33)
Check out our project’s colourful factsheet and learn how TRICUSO is delivering a roadmap for the optimal surface Ocean pCO₂ observing system via novel sensor technology, various platforms, mapping and data synthesis.
TRICUSO at Ocean Sciences Meeting 2026
The TRICUSO project and members of its consortium made a healthy splash in the heavily populated waters of OSM26. Held in Glasgow, Scotland, this was the first time the prestigious conference took place outside the United States, and it was a welcome setting for two town halls, a co-chaired session titled The Southern Ocean Carbon Sink: processes, observations, and change and a poster talk.
International Day of Women and Girls in Science
International Day of Women and Girls in Science supports shaping a future where science and gender equality advance together. TRICUSO marked the 2026 annual occasion by asking some of our colleagues to encourage women to consider a career in science.
TRICUSO Project Video – Episode One (M32)
TRICUSO’s first video showcases the beautiful scenery of the Antarctic region and focuses on early project stories. It features interviews with consortium scientists discussing the need to expand the capacity for observation in the Southern Ocean where an increase in data is needed to help address the discrepancy between data and models used for forecasting. The video also introduces the project’s ambitions to innovate sensor technology and engage the support of citizen science platforms—racing yachts and tourist vessels—sailing in the Southern Ocean.
SOCONET Achieves Scientific Leadership and Governance Structure (M24)
TRICUSO recently reached a significant project milestone when the inaugural Steering Committee Meeting for the Surface Ocean CO₂ Observing Network (SOCONET) took place in Bergen, Norway on 16-17 of January to establish the network’s governance structure.
Preparing for Southern Ocean Deployment
Kicking off a new year, with a new trial. TRICUSO colleagues from partners Euro-Argo and CNRS-IAS in collaboration with our sister project GEORGE, have been innovating acoustic wind sensor technology on floats, building on the work from a trial they undertook late last year.
