Programmes

An Observing Air-Sea Interactions Strategy (OASIS)

The Observing Air-Sea Interactions Strategy (OASIS) PROGRAMME will provide observational-based knowledge to fundamentally improve weather, climate and ocean prediction, promote healthy oceans, the blue economy, and sustainable food and energy.

Challenger 150 - A Decade to Study Deep-Sea Life

Through supporting the development of new technologies and the expansion of observations, Challenger 150 aims to advance understanding of the diversity, distribution, function and services provided by deep-ocean biota; and to use this new knowledge to educate, inspire, and promote better management and sustainable use of the deep ocean.

CoastPredict

CoastPredict integrates observations with numerical models to produce predictions with uncertainties from extreme events to climate, for the coastal marine ecosystems (their services), biodiversity, co-designing transformative response to science and societal needs.

Cultural Heritage Framework Programme

The Cultural Heritage Framework Programme (CHFP) provides a framework within which Decade Actions relating to cultural heritage can be encouraged, shared and supported, so that the impacts of such actions in delivering sustainable development are greater together than they would be individually.

Deep Ocean Observing Strategy (DOOS)

DOOS represents an interconnected network of deep-ocean observing, mapping, exploration, and modelling programs working together.

Early Career Ocean Professionals

Incorporate new ways of thinking into global ocean sustainability and stewardship challenges through diverse engagement.

Empowering Women for the Ocean Decade

Research findings will identify key barriers and good practice contributing to a proposed Strategy and Action Plan to help deliver equal opportunities for full participation and leadership by women at all levels of ocean science under the Ocean Decade.

Global Ecosystem for Ocean Solutions (GEOS)

GEOS will develop and deploy a series of equitable, durable, and scalable ocean-based solutions for addressing climate change and Ocean Decade's challenges. GEOS initial projects focus on ocean-based carbon dioxide removal, providing adaptation tools to coastal communities, and improving ocean-based human health.

Global Ocean Decade Programme for Blue Carbon (GO-BC)

GO-BC will enhance understanding of the ocean-climate nexus and generate new knowledge and solutions to mitigate the effects of climate change.
