Earthscope-Oceans

earthscope-oceans is an organization founded by a multidisciplinary group of geoscientists who are coordinating efforts to create a global network of sensors that monitor the earth from within the oceanic environment. as other organizations are doing for the land-based seismological communities today, earthscope-oceans shepherds national projects into the international arena where globally relevant, applicable, and mutually agreed-upon decisions can be made on instrument development, science objectives, data management, and outreach. as mermaid technology develops, earthscope-oceans is expected to become more multidisciplinary and include seismologists, biologists, geochemists, meteorologists, oceanographers and others. collaboration with ocean-observing programs will enable complementary observation of ocean temperature, salinity, and biogeochemical tracers, and cost-effective instrument deployment and recovery by ships of opportunity.
