COMMUNITY WHITE PAPERS

In 2017, abstracts for Community White Papers (CWPs) were solicited from the ocean observing and end user communities. The organizers of OceanObs’19 requested abstracts with the hope they will evolve into overarching CWPs, becoming collectively reflective of community wisdoms and perspectives. The OceanObs’19 Program Committee has reviewed and consolidated approved abstracts with similar scopes to enhance the overarching vision of the final CWPs. Abstract author teams have been notified of their CWP groups, and are nearing the end of their writing process and submission. The full list of approved and consolidated CWPs can be found below. Full list of submitted CWPs will be available after publication.

Focus

The overarching vision of the final CWPs will focus on: (1) being forward-looking to the next decade, (2) addressing end-user engagement, (3) addressing opportunities for integration, and (4) connecting to conference themes.

Publication

Frontiers in Marine Science is publishing CWPs online as they complete their review process. Check out available CWPs!
