Deep Ocean Observing Groups
Not all groups that interact with DOOS are not “mapable,” but each can provide key resources for the deep ocean community. We have provided links to these organizations below. Don’t see your program on the list? Let us know!
- Deep Ocean Stewardship Initiative (DOSI)
- Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC)
- National Deep Submergence Facility (NDSF)
- Ocean SITES
- International Seabed Authority (ISA)
- Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network (GOA-ON)
- Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (MBON GEOBON)
- Ocean Observations Panel for Climate (OOPC)
- International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project (IOCCP)
- Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS)
- INDEEP
- International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange (IODE)
- Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES)
- Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
- World Climate Research Programme
The primary source of information used for the interactive map was derived from submissions to our DOOS Inventory. We are always looking to update the map to gain a more complete picture of the status of deep ocean observing around the world.
