National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, Medicine- Understanding Gulf Ocean Systems 2021 Annual Meeting

National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, Medicine
Gulf Research Program
February 10th | 12:00 to 5:30 PM ET

Understanding Gulf Ocean Systems (UGOS) is a cross-cutting, integrating initiative of the Gulf Research Program (GRP) at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. UGOS aims to enhance the use of physical understanding and forecasts for the reduction of risks in offshore energy exploration and production. Since 2018, UGOS has supported research related to ocean observations and modeling in the Gulf of Mexico to improve understanding and forecasting of the Loop Current dynamics (the list of supported projects can be found here).

The Gulf Research Program will be hosting our Third Annual UGOS meeting on February 10th, 2021 from 12:00 to 5:30 PM ET. This meeting will consist of moderated panel discussions with invited speakers and UGOS Project Directors. To prepare for the moderated discussions with the UGOS Project Directors, please watch the pre-recorded presentations in advance of the meeting and come ready to ask questions!

Through this meeting, the GRP aims to:

• Bring together the UGOS Project Directors, the UGOS Standing Committee, and collaborators to learn about the status of UGOS funded projects.

• Develop an integrated view of the successes in advancing the prediction of the Loop Current, Loop Current Eddies, and other ocean circulation features to mitigate risks in offshore energy operations in the northern Gulf of Mexico.
