Program
This year’s program features cutting-edge marine research, engaging breakout sessions, and valuable networking opportunities. Guided by our moderator Sjoerd Groeskamp, we will explore the theme “Whose Ocean? Whose Future? Whose Responsibility?” from diverse disciplinary perspectives—a timely discussion ahead of the upcoming One Ocean and UN Ocean Conference in Nice later that week.

Moderator
NIOZ Physical oceanographer Sjoerd Groeskamp investigates the mixing of water masses in the oceans to gain a better understanding of the Earth’s climate system, sea level rise, ocean circulation and transport of heat and carbon. To create awareness of the problems we are facing due to climate change, He combines his research with a wide range of outreach activities that includes a theater tour together with a Dutch comedian. As the ocean has a large role to play in our past, current and future climate, the national ocean science meeting is important to recognize this and connect the fundamental scientific knowledge with policy and stakeholders. Hopefully to provide a sustainable way to live with and from our ocean now and in the future.
