SOLAS Open Science Conferences
Open Science Conference 2019, Sapporo, Japan, 21-25 April 2019
The SOLAS Open Science Conference 2019 was held in Sapporo, Japan from 21-25 April 2019 at the Hokkaido University Conference Hall. Organised and run by a committee of 17 nationalities, the conference welcomed 190 attendees from 30 countries to share their research and knowledge of SOLAS science. During plenary talks, discussion sessions, and poster presentations, participants were able to exchange about current projects and new ideas, as well as present their own findings.
During this year’s Open Science Conference, a day-long geoengineering workshop took place which discussed how the air-sea research community can help inform the decision-making process in climate intervention. Other highlights of the conference include an Early Career Scientists Day during which about 25 doctoral students and postdocs networked and presented their research in three-minute talks.
The SOLAS IPO would like to thank all participants and sponsors for making the conference a success. Again, congratulations to the winners of the student poster competition, George Manville and Lumi Kinjo, and the winners of the Early Career Scientist Day talk competition Pat Wongpan, Stephanie Schneider, and Hannah Horowitz.
The outcomes and reports of the sessions will be published in the upcoming issue of SOLAS Event Report. The reseach works of the winners of the student poster and the Early Career Day awards will be highlighed in the coming Event Report as well.

An all-day meeting of the Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas (SOCAT) and the Surface Ocean pCO2 Mapping Intercomparison (SOCOM)community was attended by around 50 scientist with the highlight of launching the SOCAT version 3. For her dedicated work with SOCAT Dorothee Bakker received a reward during the conference banquet.
The German contribution to SOLAS, the Surface Ocean Processes in the Anthropocene (SOPRAN) project also had its final meeting and published a brochure containing important scientific highlights of the last 9 years.
To strengthen the SOLAS commitment towards capacity building the workshop `The ABC of presenting: Audience-friendly, Brief and Clear` for early career scientist was organized. This workshop was held over two days and helped the early career scientist to further develop their presentations skills.
We also congratulate the winners of the student poster competition Panassa Essowe, Leonie Esters, Margaux Gourdal, Sinnika Lennartz, Mingshuang Sun, Precious Mongwe, Camille Richon, Tianfeng Guo and Alex Zavarsky.
