Want to stay updated with the latest stories from one of the largest gatherings of leading global innovators, analysts, and producers of marine technology, research, and education ?

Want to know what happened at the OCEANS conference, but unable to make it for the event ?

Worry not. We have your back, at Earthzine.

Earlier this year, Earthzine kickstarted its activities, covering the Europe segment of the OCEANS conference at Marseille with articles covering the workshops, panel discussions and technical sessions at the event. Our social media reporters gave live updates via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram channels about the ongoings at the conference. And we will continue more of the good work at Seattle.

The theme at the OCEANS 2019 Seattle conference is "Blue Sea, Blue Sky, Blue Tech".

Apt indeed. OCEANS is the ideal place to get the latest updates in Ocean sciences, and to discover how ocean science research can be evolved into the right technologies required to monitor, analyze, utilize and protect the ocean.

The event runs from October 27-31st, 2019, and is sponsored by the Marine Technology Society (MTS) and the IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society (OES). It will include tutorials, workshops, technical demonstrations, townhalls, paper presentations, and panel discussions. These will bring together academics, industrialists, policy-makers, students, young-professionals and leaders to discuss together in a common forum. OCEANS will be a catalyst for turning scientific ideas and insights into technology, policy and action.

Plenary talks at OCEANS span three days at the conference, and the speakers will include
