Frontiers in Ocean Observing

Emerging Technologies for Understanding and Managing a Changing Ocean

In this second supplement to Oceanography on frontiers in ocean observing, articles describe the many creative and promising ways in which scientists are now sampling and studying the ocean and its constituents. Once again, topics were chosen to align with the priorities of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–2030). This  year’s themes include: Observations for Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal, Patterns and Trends in Ocean Biodiversity Under Climate Change, Assessing the Damage Caused by Marine Plastic Pollution, Ocean Observations for Coastal Hazard Warning, and Environmental DNA Technology. We hope that you enjoy this supplement and share it widely.
