Evolution of Ocean Sciences: Impacts of Transformational Science and Partnerships

Session ID#: 75876

Session Description:
One hundred years ago, when AGU was formed, ocean science was a small, qualitative, and discipline-specific practice. A century later, ocean science has evolved into a complex, integrated, and societally-relevant field backed by rigorous theory, global observing systems, and multi-billion dollar R&D budgets. This session highlights transformational research that has contributed to the global progression of ocean science from disciplinary to interdisciplinary to transdisciplinary. Presentations are invited that describe scientific advances from large disciplinary and interdisciplinary oceanographic programs and partnerships – international and other – that stimulated the evolution of the field. We encourage contributions on research, including tools and sampling technologies, that fundamentally changed the planning and conduct of ocean science, had a substantial impact on Earth sciences, and has addressed societal challenges. Submissions from academic, government, industry, and non-governmental sectors, as well as from scientists in and outside of the US are encouraged.
