Ocean Observation Systems and Environmental Sustainability, IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society Technology Committee on
The Ocean Observation Systems and Environmental Sustainability Technology Committee (“OOSES” TC) facilitates the gathering and interpretation of ocean information for the benefit of humanity. In this, the TC focuses on the interactions between the oceans and society. This includes furthering our understanding of the ocean “environment” and disseminating this understanding to decision-making and policy experts.
The TC facilitates discussions and analyses of issues related to the integration of technologies into observing systems as well as advances in observing systems that support decisions and policy making at international and national levels. Environmental sustainability concerns (e.g., Sustainable Development Goals: SDGs), ocean resources management, technology innovation and international cooperation are elements supporting decision-making. The analyses and recommendations produced by the TC would be disseminated through multiple means including, for example, oceans conference tracks, dedicated workshops and cooperation with GEO and other international organizations.
