- Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS)
- An international programme to assess more accurately, and understand better the processes controlling, regional to global and seasonal to interannual fluxes of carbon between the atmosphere, surface ocean and ocean interior, and their sensitivity to climate changes.
- 122
- Land-Ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone (LOICZ)
- The LOICZ Project focuses on the area of the earth's surface where land, ocean and atmosphere meet and interact. The overall goal of this project is to determine at regional and global scales: the nature of that dynamic interaction; how changes in various components of the Earth system are affecting coastal zones and altering their role in global cycles; to assess how future changes in these areas will affect their use by people; to provide a sound scientific basis for future integrated management of coastal areas on a sustainable basis.
- 123
- MAss Transfer and Ecosystem Response (MTP II-MATER)
- The overall objective of the MTP II MATER is to study and to quantify the triggering and controlling mechanisms of mass and energy transfer between the different compartments (land - sea, sea - atmosphere, water - sediment, living - non living, pelagos - benthos), in contrasting trophic environments (from eutrophic to oligotrophic) of the Mediterranean Sea and to investigate the ecosystem response to such a transfer.
- 124
- Marine Research Aquarium
- Information on the building of a marine aquarium for propagation of coral. Site also tells how to collect specimens and create a chemical/biological/physical environment conducive to coral growth in an automated artificial environment.
- 125
- Monitoring the Atlantic Inflow Toward the Arctic (MAIA)
- Developing a system based on coastal sea-level data for monitoring the inflows of Atlantic Water to the northern seas.
- 126
- NEPTUNE Canada
- The NorthEast Pacific Time-Series Undersea Networked Experiments project is a regional-scale ocean observatory for interactive, real-time, long term ocean and earth studies and is led in Canada by the University of Victoria.
- 127
- Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean
- NEMO is a modeling framework for oceanographic research and operational oceanography. It allows ocean related components (ocean dynamics, ice, biogeochemisty) to work together and to be interfaced with the component of the earth system.

- Ocean Drilling Program (ODP)
- "An International Partnership in Geological Oceanography" -- Texas A&M University
- 129
- RAPID Meridional Overturning Circulation data (RAPIDMOC)
- Near real time data from key moorings, deployed as part of a monitoring array at 26.5°N to measure the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. Part of the NERC Rapid Climate Change programme.
- 130
- Seasearch
- UK project for volunteer sports divers who have an interest in what they're seeing under water, want to learn more and want to help protect the marine environment. The main aim is to map out the various types of sea bed found in the near-shore zone, up to about 5 miles off the coast or 30m depth around the whole of the British Isles.
- 131
- Surface Ocean Lower Atmosphere Study (SOLAS)
- A new international research initiative which has as its goal: 'To achieve quantitative understanding of the key biogeochemical-physical interactions and feedbacks between the ocean and the atmosphere, and how this coupled system affects and is affected by climate and environmental change'.
- 132
- U.S. Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (U.S. JGOFS)
- The US national component of the international Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS) and an integral part of global climate change research. Supported primarily by the U.S. National Science Foundation in collaboration with the NOAA, NASA and the Department of Energy and the Office of Naval Research.
- 133
- UK Marine Special Areas of Conservation
- The vast coastline and seas around the UK have a remarkable marine natural heritage and provide rich resources for both work and recreation. These are treasures that need to be safeguarded and the UK Marine SACs Project is playing a major role in achieving this.

- 4th International Zooplankton Production Symposium
- The Symposium defined the current 'state of the art' of zooplankton ecology and determined the key research initiatives to be pursued in the 21st century. (May 28, 2007)
- 135
- Waves and Operational Oceanography, Brest, France. June 23-24, 2003.
- A scientific workshop to assess the current state of knowledge on waves in relation to currents, surface drifts and air-sea interactions hosted by the French Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service (SHOM). (June 23, 2003)
- 136
- Third International Conference on Marine Bioinvasions, La Jolla, US, March 16-19, 2003.
- Covered ecological and genetic consequences of bioinvasions, management responses and impacts and riskaccessment. (March 16, 2003)
- 137
- Colour of Ocean Data Symposium, Brussels, Belgium. November 25-27, 2002.
- Symposium on oceanographic data and information management with special attention to biological data. Brussels, Belgium. (November 25, 2002)
- 138
- International Liege Colloquium on Ocean Dynamics, Liege, May 6-10, 2002.
- Papers dealing with any aspect of tracer methods may be submitted, including theoretical, observational and numerical approaches. Contributions related to climatological analyses of marine data will also be highly appreciated. Studies related to atmospheric processes are welcome, especially if they deal with methods that can be used in marine applications. (May 06, 2002)
