On 12-13 March 2025, ObsSea4Clim team met in person for the project Annual Meeting in Sopot, Poland.

The event featured a mix of science talks and plenary sessions aimed at knowledge sharing and ensuring project progress.

Science talks and plenary sessions

We share here the list of resources available from our Annual Meeting – check out the presentations and recordings on various topic related to ocean observation!
