Description
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), through the NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP), offers a postdoctoral fellowship opportunity focused on ocean acidification (OA) data synthesis. The selected postdoctoral researcher will conduct a broad-scale analysis of ocean carbon observing data to understand ecosystem changes across the United States Large Marine Ecosystems.
Key activities include:
- Synthesizing historical and modern environmental observing data related to ocean carbon and acidification.
- Assessing regional to local scale ecosystem vulnerability to ocean acidification.
- Developing synthesis products and data products that support modelers and target stakeholder audiences.
- Improving the use of remote sensing data for OA applications.
- Addressing key scientific questions within the ocean carbon observing community.
- Utilizing NOAA-funded and sponsored data repositories extensively.
This fellowship aims to transform environmental observing data into actionable scientific products that inform ecosystem management and policy decisions related to ocean acidification.
