SOCIB 2030: Integrated Multi-platform Ocean Observing and FAIR Data for Regional Digital Twins of the Ocean

Speaker: Dr. Joaquim Tintoré Subirana
Institution: SOCIB - Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Date: June 6th, 09:15h – 10:15h

CV: Joaquín Tintoré is Professor of Physical Oceanography from CSIC (Spanish National Research Council) at IMEDEA and Director of the Spanish Large-Scale Marine Infrastructure SOCIB (Balearic Islands Coastal Ocean Observing and Forecasting System) that he originally proposed and designed in 2006. SOCIB is today a well-established marine research infrastructure, a multi-platform ocean observing system that is leading a new era of ocean observation, a key grand challenge our society is facing. SOCIB and similar infrastructures worldwide, because of their scientific excellence, critical mass, multidisciplinary, integrated and targeted approach and open data policy, are establishing new research ecosystems that facilitate mission-oriented innovation1. Since 2013, SOCIB is providing streams of data, tools, products and modelling services for science and society, a clear performance indicator of SOCIB achievements.
