  1. Cross-Atlantic Cooperation Susan K. Avery, WHOI: Irminger Sea Workshop

  2. Changing North Atlantic, changing societal interaction, requires new science approaches • Drivers • CO2 injection/uptake – 3D thermohaline circulation – biogeochemical changes - ecosystems • Freshening and warming: Arctic-N. Atlantic • Economic opportunity; sustainability • Societal risks and resilience • Synthetic, integrative approach • Ocean system science • Virtual observatories/organizations • Smart models

  3. Building blocks • Galway report – focusing scientific energy in N. Atlantic • Canada/Germany: Labrador Sea (VITALS) • European nation observing chains; Horizon 2020 • US • OOI-NSF • OSNAP-NSF • Bloom experiment – NASA

  4. Creating the integration and coordination • Virtual organizations • SAVI – NSF (OSNAP): creating the VO Hub • Coopeus (Interoperability – NSF/Europe) • Rapid Array – UK investment in observing array; connecting meridional overturning circulation further south – Virtual observatories

  5. The Galway Declaration sets the stage for trans-Atlantic cooperation: The vision • Enhanced predictive capability for risks and changes in North Atlantic ocean basin • Multi-platform ocean observing and forecasting system providing real time data and long time series • Maps seafloor and water column tectonics and ecosystems • Enables safe operations at sea, offshore, and coasts • Strengthens and seamlessly integrates collaborative science and operations between Europe, Canada, and US • Supports the development, through partnerships, for sustainable socio-economic growth • Revolutionizes our understanding of the role of the North Atlantic in our earth system • Promotes ocean literacy and stakeholder engagement and inspires and educates the next generation of trans-disciplinary scientists and engineers.

  6. Galway Declaration notes the ocean observing challenge for the North Atlantic Basin • Patchwork of ocean and coastal observing capabilities • Provides a basis for a fit for purpose ocean and coastal observation and forecasting infrastructure • Lacks the required spatial and temporal coverage, inter-operability and the full range of chemical and biological sensors needed to realize and deliver the shared vision • Recommends Trans-Atlantic workshops to develop program that implements vision

  7. Horizon 2020 http://ec.europa.eu/programmes/horizon2020/ Europe 2020 Priorities International cooperation European Research Area Shared objectives and principles • Tackling Societal Challenges • Health, demographic change and wellbeing • Food security, sust. agri., marine and maritime research & bioeconomy • Secure, clean and efficient energy • Smart, green and integrated transport • Supply of raw materials, resource efficiency and climate action • Inclusive, innovative and secure societies • Creating Industrial Leadership and Competitive Frameworks • Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies (Biotechnology,…) • Access to risk finance • Innovation in SMEs Blue Growth 18 € Billion 32 € Billion • Excellence in the Science Base • Frontier research • Future and EmergingTechnologies • Skills and career development (Marie Curie) • Research infrastructures 25 € Billion Coherence with other EU and MS actions Common rules, toolkit of funding schemes Simplified access

  8. Blue Growth legacy – The ocean of tomorrow • Potential for innovation and growth • Cross cutting approaches • Addresses innovation chain • Supports policy and societal decision-making

  9. The Blue Growth components • Sustainably exploiting the diversity of marine life(56 M€) • Addressing the new offshore challenge(26 M€) • Ocean observing systems and technologies(30 M€) • Integration, coordination, and cross-cuts (33M€) • Economics of marine research and markets • Ocean literacy • Atlantic ocean cooperative research alliance • European polar research cooperation • Healthy and productive seas

  10. The Virtual Organization: Coordination/collaboration/system science • A group of individuals whose members and resources may be dispersed geographically and institutionally, yet who function as a coherent unit through the use of cyberinfrastructure and informatics • Typically enabled by, and provides shared and often real-time access to, centralized or distributed resources, such as community specific tools, applications, data, and sensors, and experimental operations.
