Scope of meeting
Aim of WS is to:
• Share knowledge and discuss our common interest in understanding of
methane from hydrates and Arctic Ocean, and the relevance on climate on
short, medium and long time scales
• Listen & learn, interdisciplinary discussions
• Informal, useful, interesting
Hopefully MOCA can contribute to both establish and strengthen the
collaboration across scientific disciplines to improve the knowledge of
“Methane Emissions from the Arctic OCean to the Atmosphere: Present and
Future Climate Effects”
Program
Part 1, 29- lunchtime 30 October: Scientific workshop on Arctic methane and
learn about processes at the seafloor, in the ocean atmosphere, and the
climate impacts of methane.
• Provide broad background
• Learn to knwo each other and our respective fields and tools
Part 2: Lunchtime 30-31. October: Project kick off meeting for MOCA
• Detailed planning of the work
• Links within the projects to seek maximum outcome of all efforts
