Biological Oceanography conferences

The tenth national and first international Ocean Society of India conference brings ocean, atmospheric and Earth scientists together around research and applications. Topics span physical, chemical and biological oceanography, marine geology and geophysics, ocean–atmosphere interactions, engineering, marine microbiology, the blue economy, bioinformatics, satellite and in-situ observations, modeling, changing monsoons, polar regions and renewable energy. Plenary lectures, contributed research and early-career and interdisciplinary sessions connect scientific advances to societal needs.

The Aquatic Sciences Meeting connects freshwater and ocean researchers around the theme Waterscapes Under Pressure: Drivers and Opportunities. The meeting runs 28 February–5 March 2027 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The abstract deadline has been extended to 21 September 2026; early registration ends 1 December 2026.

The meeting examines disputed and unresolved questions about rapidly changing Arctic and Southern oceans. It brings circulation, ecology and biogeochemistry together to consider sea-ice loss, freshwater inputs, deep-water formation, primary production and climate-active aerosols. Sessions emphasize why these processes remain difficult to measure and explain, including feedbacks on planetary reflectivity and atmospheric composition. Comparisons with ancient ice-covered oceans and oceans on other worlds broaden the discussion. Attendance requires a bachelor’s degree in science or engineering, or an accepted equivalent. Applications are subject to selection and available capacity.
