She noted that a metal tumbler is available for each participant, so that the use of plastic can be reduced. Marie- Alexandrine Sicre, SCOR President, also welcomed participants and asked each to introduce themselves. Sicre continued by noting members of the SCOR community that had died in the past year and summarized their scientific contributions (see https://scor-int.org/Annual Meetings/2019_SCOR_Meeting/Tab 1.pdf) and involvement with SCOR: Wallace Broecker was a Full Member of SCOR WG 20 on Radiocarbon Estimation of Primary Production and of SCOR WG 44 on Ocean-Atmosphere Materials Exchange. Keith Hunter was a Full Member of SCOR WG 80 on Role of Phase Transfer Processes in the Cycling of Trace Metals in Estuaries and Co-chair of SCOR WG 109 on Biogeochemistry of Iron in Seawater. Angus McEwan was a Member of SCOR/IOC Committee on Climate Change and the Ocean and a Nominated Member from Australia. Walter Munk was a Full Member of SCOR WG 96 on Acoustic Monitoring of the World Ocean. Rengaswamy Ramesh was a Full Member of SCOR WG 117 on Synthesis of Decadal to Millennial Climate Records of the Past 80ky. Bert Semtner was a Full Member of SCOR WG 107 on Improved Global Bathymetry. 1.2 Approval of the Agenda Additions or modifications to the agenda as distributed may be suggested prior to approval of the final version. The only change was to move the InterRidge presentation from Thursday to Wednesday, right after WG discussions, because Jerome Dyment needed to leave before Thursday. 1.3 Report of the President of SCOR The SCOR President, Marie-Alexandrine Sicre, briefly reviewed her activities for SCOR since the SCOR Annual Meeting in September 2018 in Plymouth, UK. Sicre was invited to contribute to the Sustainable Blue Economy conference held in Kenya (26 to 28 November 2018); she gave an introductory presentation in the Science and Research Symposium. In December 2018, Sicre represented SCOR at a GEOTRACES-PAGES workshop on the use of isotopes for paleoceanography organized in France. In mid-April to mid-June 2019, Sicre worked with Peter Burkill and Paul Myers to recruit a new Executive Director for SCOR; Patricia Miloslavich was selected. On 19-23 June 2019, she participated in the second IMBeR Open Science Conference 1 in Brest, France and the following meeting of the IMBeR Scientific Steering Committee. Following the IMBeR meetings, Sicre represented SCOR (with Ed Urban) at the IOC General Assembly, which had a large focus on the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. She plans to represent SCOR at a regional Indian Ocean planning workshop for the UN Decade. IOC acknowledged progress in the second International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE-2) and encouraged support to 2025. During the past year, Sicre also participated in monthly conference calls by the Ocean Knowledge Action Network Development Team. 1.4 Report of SCOR Executive Director The Executive Director, Ed Urban, reported on his activities for SCOR since the 2018 SCOR Annual meeting, and on the current condition of SCOR. Urban noted that at least three SCOR working groups contributed to community white papers published in the special section of Frontiers in Marine Science related to the OceanObs’19 meeting. Four ASLO eLectures were published in the Limnology and Oceanography eLecture journal from WG 146 on Radioactivity in the Ocean, 5 decades later (RiO5). In terms of outreach from SCOR, there has been an increase in the number of individuals receiving SCOR emails, and followers on Twitter and Facebook; there is little overlap between recipients of SCOR emails and tweets. The Webpages for SCOR WGs are being improved with pictures and not-technical explanations related to the groups’ work. SCOR has reserved a double booth at Ocean Sciences 2020, where there will be software demonstrations from SCOR WGs and projects.
