New Zealand –Australia Symposium in Ocean Observing and Data Management.
5-6th December 2011
SocSci Flex Room 312, University of Tasmania, Hobart.
Motivated by the recent development of an “Arrangement in Ocean Observing and Data Management” between Australia and New Zealand, and supported by funding from the Australian Department of Innovation Industry Science and Research (DIISR) and the New Zealand Ministry of Science and Innovation (MSI), 45 scientists from Australia and New Zealand came together in Hobart over 2 days to discuss ways in which the two nations could work more closely together to observe the oceans, and deliver the data required for research nationally, regionally and globally.
There are some common themes which arose throughout the sessions which could be addressed through high level coordination and improving mechanisms for communication and cross fertilization of approaches and research;
- Standardisation and sharing of sampling approaches, methods, quality control and data formats
- Development of compatible systems for data management, data availability and dissemination, including availability of environmental context data and tools for integration.
- Sharing capability/capacity; perhaps through mobility of students/post docs and technicians.
- Collaborative use of regional research vessel resources, and coordinated interaction with potential ship of opportunity platforms
- Sharing of instrumentation, technology development and specialist equipment.
