On February 18–19, JPI Oceans will host a workshop bringing together experts from the Ocean Carbon Capacities Knowledge Hub, led by Norway and co-led by Germany. The goal of this meeting is to develop a clearly defined roadmap for the next steps in advancing the second phase of the Joint Action, which began in November 2023.
Currently, the Knowledge Hub is focused on three core areas:
· Developing an implementation plan for a European Hub for ocean carbon reference materials.
· Installing new observing systems on research vessels.
· Evaluating the state of surface ocean CO₂ observation in Europe, with annual updates thereafter.
