Scientific Programme

The meeting will have three components:

Plenary presentations from leading scientists to address the three overarching questions from different perspectives.
Posters presented by participants at the meeting.
Two full days of working group discussions, which will form the core of the meeting, and will be summarized on the final day of the meeting.

All of these components will be used by the Ocean Biogeochemistry and Ecosystems Transition Team as key inputs for the development of the Science Plan for OCEANS.

The overall format for the meeting is outlined in the table below. The full programme follows.
