North East Atlantic Ocean Acidification Hub
The North East Atlantic Ocean Acidification Hub was established to serve European countries that are conducting monitoring, and other OA activities, within the NE Atlantic region. Countries within the region known to be engaged in OA research and/or with data submitted to the GOA-ON data portal: Belgium, Denmark, Faroe Islands, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, UK.
How to Join
Goals
The key role of the hub is to ensure a common methodology for recording measurements, encourage submission of ocean acidification measurements to the UN through National Data Centres and cataloguing of this data on a central global portal to map effort and identify gaps. The main goals and scope of the hub are to:
- Share information on OA monitoring (and experimental and modelling) activities
- Facilitate data submission to the GOA-ON data portal
- Promote community "best practices" consistent with GOA-ON
- Facilitate capacity building and training activities
- Provide integration across the region
