Rules of Procedure for IODE Programme Components, Programme Activities and Projects.
(UNESCO, Paris, France, 2023)Since the creation of the first IODE projects in the 1990s the terms of reference of a IODE Project and Steering Group have been defined by a Recommendation submitted by the IODE Committee to the IOC Governing body (in ... -
Advancing real-time pH sensing capabilities to monitor coastal acidification as measured in a productive and dynamic estuary (Rıá de Arousa, NW Spain).
(2022)Ocean acidification has critical impacts on marine ecosystems, but presents knowledge gaps on the ecological impacts requiring large-scale monitoring of physicochemical conditions to predict biological responses to ocean ... -
Quantifying 210Po/210Pb Disequilibrium in Seawater: A Comparison of Two Precipitation Methods With Differing Results.
(2021)The disequilibrium between lead-210 (210Pb) and polonium-210 (210Po) is increasingly used in oceanography to quantify particulate organic carbon (POC) export from the upper ocean. This proxy is based on the deficits of ... -
Modified FlowCAM procedure for quantifying size distribution of zooplankton with sample recycling capacity.
(2017)We have developed a modified FlowCAM procedure for efficiently quantifying the size distribution of zooplankton. The modified method offers the following new features: 1) prevents animals from settling and clogging with ... -
Designing Monitoring Programs for Marine Protected Areas Within an Evidence Based Decision Making Paradigm.
(2019)The Evidence Based Decision Making (EBDM) paradigm encourages managers to base their decisions on the strongest available evidence, but it has been criticized for placing too much emphasis on the choice of study design ... -
Marine HNS Response Manual: Multi-regional Bonn Agreement, HELCOM, REMPEC.
(Project WestMopoco, 2021)Maritime transport is often described as “the backbone of globalized trade and the manufacturing supply chain”, since more than 80% of the global merchandise trade by volume is carried by sea. Some of the goods ... -
