SIG Meetings

Marine Optics SIG

This group is a focus for the science and technology behind optical marine measurements collected both in situ and remotely, and their application to marine biogeochemistry. This group is jointly sponsored by The Challenger Society and the Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Society.
Contact: Rob Brewin, PML (robr@pml.ac.uk).

Ocean Modelling Group

This group is concerned with modelling of the oceans at a range of scales. Register for our Sept 2013 meeting: http://tinyurl.com/OceanModel 
Contact: Helen Johnson, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Oxford (Helen.Johnson@earth.ox.ac.uk)

Marine Biogeochemistry Forum

This group addresses all aspects of marine biogeochemistry, and holds bi-annual AMBIO (Advances in Marine Biogeochemistry) meetings. 2013 meeting: http://store.leeds.ac.uk/browse/extra_info.asp?compid=1&modid=2&prodid=300&deptid=9&catid=47 Contact: Gary Fones, SEES, University of Portsmouth (gary.fones@port.ac.uk) 

Sea Ice SIG

This group encompasses the UK sea-ice research community, and covers aspects of in situ and remote observation, modelling and climatology.
Contact: Jeff Ridley, Met Office (jeff.ridley@metoffice.com). Group website.

Biophysical interactions SIG

The objective of this group is to provide a forum for discussions on research relating marine biota to their environment.

Marine Technologies SIG

This group focuses on bringing together the community of sensing technologies for marine applications. Also, to share exciting developments in the field and to make the public aware of how these technologies will impact future oceanographic research. Contact: Alex Beaton, National Oceanography Centre, Southampton (a.beaton@soton.ac.uk). Group page

Sea Level SIG

Contact Simon Holgate, Sea Level Research Foundation (www.sealevelresearch.org), simon@sealevelresearch.org.

Coastal Ocean Processes

This group provides a focal point for the UK community to discuss and plan future multidisciplinary research into coastal ocean and shelf sea process.

Contact: Matthew Palmer, National Oceanography Centre (rolm@noc.ac.uk)

Ocean Wind Waves SIG

Contact Christine Gommenginger, National Oceanography Centre, Southampton (cg1@noc.ac.uk). Meeting in March 2012. You can also visit the group page here.
