Workshop Report for the Observing Air-Sea Interactions Strategy (OASIS) for a Predicted Ocean, a satellite event for the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development - Predicted Ocean Laboratory

The “OASIS for a Predicted Ocean” satellite event to the UN Decade Predicted Ocean Laboratory took place twice to account for different time zones, on Sep 16, 2021 at 1600 CET and on Sep 17, 2021 at 0100 CET. The fun event used the interactive gather.town platform (Figures 1-2), and had poster viewing (Figure 3) and socializing before and after the events. Overall, the event was fun and went smoothly due to the careful planning by the organizers, the Consortium for Ocean Leadership (COL) support team, and the gather.town architect, Sheri Schwartz. Roughly half of the team of organizers, moderators, keynote and invited speakers, and note takers were Early Career Ocean Professionals (ECOP), representing the stake they have in the future.
