Webinar: ICOS data practices: Surface ocean carbon observations

The GEORGE project is hosting a three-part webinar series dedicated to the data collection, processing and accessing practices of the marine Research Infrastructures (RIs) within GEORGE.

This three-part webinar series focuses on the data practices of the three different marine RIs: EMSO ERIC, Euro-Argo ERIC, and ICOS ERIC. Each session will cover one RI and provide an overview of how data is produced, processed, stored, and made accessible within that organisation. 

The second episode focuses on surface ocean carbon measurements by ICOS.
