  1. European Speaker’s corner GEO-X Summit GEOWOW’s support to marine assessments for policy-makers A. Fischer, S. Grimes, B. Combal IOC/UNESCO

  2. Global networks coordinated through GOOS panels

  3. GOOS Framework for Ocean ObservingA simple system Input (Requirements) Defining requirements for ecosystem Essential Ocean Variables • Expanding the • GEOSS Data CORE • Creating infrastructure • for indicator-based • marine assessments • repeatable • open / shared Output (Data & Products) Process (Observations)

  4. Using GEO/GEOSS to support marine assessment Global ocean – local vulnerability • Focus on themes where a global commons / global environmental issues related to the oceans exist • Through indicators/mapping, identify local impact to ecosystem vulnerability or human vulnerability, with future projections where possible • Assess the relevant thematic governance architecture: pointing to where action is needed • Scientific assessment of peer-reviewed literature • Necessary for long-timescale, high-uncertainty, potentially high-impact environmental problems

  5. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

  6. GEOWOW WP Ocean Ecosystems The Challenge: developing ocean information for policy decision • human well-being is connected to ocean ecosystem services • ocean ecosystems are under-observed, but under threat from human impacts • scientific information can influence decision points with provision of information specifically for policy • decisions about human behaviour and global environmental governance continue in an absence of information Actors/communities Wide range of stakeholders including ocean scientists (data providers & users) and marine policy/decision-makers. GEO/GEOSS challenge is to assist link these together • Data discoverability, access and analysis

  7. Adding functionalities to the GCI forbridging the gap between scientific communities • Such assessment requires combining the various areas of expertise, from different fields (ex. Sea level rise and socio-economic projections) • Collaboration between expert communities is still limited by data interoperability, specific practices and usage related to data, and high expertise in data processing for some data (typically for climate change and ocean models)

  8. Use case: OceanAcidification impact on pteropods Carbon cycle: Atmospheric CO2 dissolves into water, pH and Aragonite CaCO3 saturation decreases. • Pteropods are affected by Aragonite saturation state: • shell growth, thickness (calcification), excretion,respiration, etc…

  9. Data and expertise 20 models, ran for IPCC scenarios, for different input parameters sets. 1 3-D model output per month 4D datasets, Extremely large volumes (hundreds of GB) Stored in ESGF federation portal Opisthobranchia (155 631 records) + scientific experts defining data processing

  10. Select IPCC scenario Choose area Select taxon Regrid and average models outputs Projections of Ω, temperature, salinity Map current species density Impact of acidification on shell calcification Depends on Aragonite, temperature and salinty Projection of populations Data portal (onesharedocean.org) Data referenced with a DOI Web service Referenced with a DOI • “Open Science” • repeatable • shareable

  11. Frommulti-disciplinary expertise to policy BRIDGING THE GAP
