October 2018 1 www.challenger-society.org Monthly newsletter of the Challenger Society for Marine Science (CSMS) New EMODnet bathymetry data product available The European Marine Observation and Data Network are proud to announce the release of an upgraded version of the EMODnet Bathymetry Digital Terrain Model (DTM) for the European Seas. This bathymetry product now offers higher resolution, powerful 3D visualization functions and extended coverage of Europe’s seas. It is available free of charge for viewing, downloading, and sharing by OGC web services from the EMODnet Bathymetry portal. The EMODnet DTM is available to support a whole range of applications in marine science, sustainable ocean governance, and blue economy activities. This new release aims to improve the work of businesses, governments and scientists who rely on access to high quality bathymetric data. The advanced EMODnet DTM offers many improvements to users: • A resolution increased from 1/8 * 1/8 arc minutes to 1/16 * 1/16 arc minutes; • A powerful 3D visualisation functionality; • A faster representation of the complexity of the map; • An extended coverage of Europe’s seas; • An increased number of bathymetric survey data sets and composite DTMs from 4 data providers; • The inclusion of Satellite Derived Bathymetry data products. EMODnet invite feedback from users of the new bathymetry product. Send your feedback to [email protected]. Become an EMODnet associated partner and/or provide information for a use case showing your application using EMODnet data and products. Do you have a project that might be suitable for a masters student ? The Marine Alliance for Science and Technology for Scotland (MASTS) and the Making the Most of Masters (MMM) aims to improve collaboration between work places and universities by providing opportunities for marine focussed MSc students to undertake work based projects. These are adaptable across disciplines and key economic areas in Scotland. The format is a flexible one. Projects can be desk, field or laboratory based and whilst all should meet the academic standard required at masters level, they primarily offer clear benefits to your organisation and result in quality outputs. For example, a masters student could: • Aid in research and development; • Analyse samples and data; • Participate in the delivery of time-constrained projects. Project titles from last year are available at https:// www.masts.ac.uk/graduate-school/making-the- most-of-masters/further-background/ The benefits of this scheme include: • Those choosing to host projects can utilise expertise from Scotland's leading universities in marine science and can access a pool of highly motivated and talented masters NEWS NEWS

MASTS Annual Science Meeting adds a workshop on Marine Plastics – A Scottish Evidence Plan The Scottish Government is placing much focus on understanding and combating issues surrounding marine litter and plastics. Marine Scotland is working on this in close coordination with terrestrial colleagues. In Scotland we currently have Scotland’s Zero Waste Plan (2010), the National Litter Strategy 'Towards A Litter-Free Scotland' (2014), Zero Waste - Safeguarding Scotland’s Resources: Blueprint For A More Resource Efficient And Circular Economy (2013), and Scotland’s Marine Litter Strategy (2014). These nationally implement regional and global policies such as the UNEP/NOAA Honolulu Strategy (2011), OSPAR’s Marine Litter Regional Action Plan (2014), and the G7 Action Plan to Combat Marine Litter (2015). To oversee and implement these strategies, several internal high-level steering groups have been established, supported by a Marine Plastics Evidence and Analytical Group. This group is currently reviewing published, ongoing and planned research in the areas of marine plastics, their sources, flows and impacts with the aim of
identifying strategic gaps in our current knowledge, and possible ways these gaps may be addressed in future research plans. The co-chairs of the SG Marine Plastics Evidence and Analytical Group (Amy McQueen and Bill Turrell) along with Bhavani Narayanaswamy, Head of Microplastics Research in SAMS, would like to invite you to this ASM session in order to contribute your thoughts about existing marine plastics research, and help identify current critical knowledge gaps for Scotland. See the calendar for details of the meeting, 31st October – 2nd November. European Geophysical Union science-policy dinner debate During the last week of September, the EGU hosted its first science-policy dinner debate in Brussels. The event, 'Horizon Geoscience: overcoming societal challenges, creating change', was organised in collaboration with the European Federation of Geologists (EFG) and brought together geoscientists, policymakers and industry representatives. The EGU website reports on the outcome of the discussion https://www.egu. eu/news/432/egu-and-efg-establish-dialogue-with-policy-makers-on-how-the-geosciences-can-help-overcome-europes-major-societal-challenges/.

21st November 2018: From HMS Challenger to Argo and beyond. NOC, Southampton, UK A one day meeting focused on how our ability to collect, process, interpret and use temperature/salinity profile data has developed over 150 years. The meeting is co-sponsored by the History Special Interest Groups of the Royal Met. Soc. and the Challenger Society and has commercial sponsorship from OSIL (http://osil. com/) who produce and distribute standard seawater. It will focus on how our ability to collect ocean temperature and salinity profiles has developed from the era of the Challenger Expedition (1870s) to the present day when the Argo array of profiling floats now provides global coverage. It will also highlight the products derived from these data and will look towards future developments. Registration and details of the meeting programme are now available at https:// conference.noc.ac.uk/hms-challenger-argo-and-beyond. Student bursaries to cover UK travel costs and registration fees are available for this meeting.

Organised by the RMetS History Special Interest Group
NATIONAL MEETING
Knowledge of the temperature and salinity of the oceans is fundamental to our
understanding of their internal dynamics and is increasingly important to a wide range
of ocean and climate applications.
This meeting will show how our ability to collect, process and collate these
observations has developed up to the present day, with information from about 3,800
Argo profilers providing global-scale, high-quality information throughout the year.
WWe will explore the international data collection framework, the products and
applications that use the data and look to future expansion and new observing systems.
We will see Argo floats being prepared for deployment, ocean gliders and other
autonomous vehicles in the National Oceanography Centre’s profiling fleet.
