GEORGE is a #HorizonEurope funded project that brings together 28 European partners to advance autonomous #ocean observations. Together, we improve #biogeochemical ocean observations for better science and decision-making. 🌊
Find out more in the video below.
#EMSO and @Ifremer_fr represented GEORGE at #SeaTechWeek, in Brest, France, this week. The team presented GEORGE progress, including results from 2025 & 2026 demo missions, and connected with potential collaborators. Thank you to those who stopped by! 👋
📣 The GEORGE project has launched a brand new online training platform for autonomous marine observing technologies. The training is open for all, but will serve especially marine RI professionals working with autonomous observing technologies. 💻

It's been a busy #ICOS2026SC week in Lund, Sweden, so far! 🙌 GEORGE partners are here presenting new research, including
🚢 results from field trials
⚙️ new sensor integrations on #Argo floats & #gliders🤝 🤝assessments of multi-RI cooperation of ICOS, Euro-Argo and EMSO
ICOS Science Conference is underway in Lund, Sweden featuring presentations from the GEORGE consortium ⤵️
Witold Tatkiewicz from @UniofExeter presented CAPASOS – a compact, low-power instrument designed to measure pCO₂ on Uncrewed Surface Vehicles (USVs).

Laurent Coppola presented GEORGE work combining membrane-based CO₂ and acoustic wind sensors on a #SeaExplorer glider to estimate air-sea CO₂ fluxes while profiling the upper ocean.
Field trials at #DYFAMED and PAP in 2025 demonstrated technical feasibility. 👏

GEORGE will convene a dedicated session at next week's ICOS Science Conference, taking place 15–17 Sept 2026 in Lund, Sweden and online. Read more & register: ow.ly/kW2050ZKAof
Did you know that a small device, about the size of a small cupboard, can be placed on ships to measure pCO2 in the surface ocean? 🚢 Watch a video of the General Oceanics (GO) system, developed in GEORGE by @GEOMAR_en & @ICOS_RI.

This July, GEORGE tested autonomous observing technologies in the Mediterranean.
Watch Romain Cancouët explain how the prototype coastal #Arvor float was deployed. The float was developed in GEORGE by @EuroArgoERIC, @nke_Instruments & @Ifremer_fr 🌊

#EuropeanOceanCarbonSummit is bringing together multiple Horizon Europe projects to:
✳️ assess results from projects at various stages of maturity
✳️ define key messages for policy
✳️ suggest pathways toward action
✳️ identify gaps & recommend next steps

That’s a wrap on the #MOOSE2026 & GEORGE cruise! R/V Gaia Blu arrived in La Seyne-sur-Mer, France, yesterday, bringing this year’s expedition, and the ship-based phase of the GEORGE demo mission in the northwestern Mediterranean, to a close 🎉 (1/3)

The mission tested GEORGE technologies for autonomous, multiplatform ocean carbon observations. On board, the General Oceanics (GO) system measured surface-ocean pCO₂, while the FerryBox collected additional measurements, including pH and oxygen. (2/3)
📸: Christian Clauwers
The ship-based observations will be compared with data from #Sailbuoy, #Argo floats & #SeaExplorer gliders. The datasets will support the calibration and validation of GEORGE’s pH and pCO2 sensors. Thank you to all the scientists and crew involved! (3/3)

Update from the GEORGE demo mission in the NW Mediterranean & #MOOSE2026 cruise 🚢 Second #Argo float of the mission was deployed for long-term autonomous measurements near Lion. Following tradition, the float on Friday was signed by crew members before being sent on its way ✍️

Day 4 of the #MOOSE2026 cruise in NW Med Sea. On R/V Gaia Blu, General Oceanics (GO) system is measuring CO₂ in the surface ocean & atmosphere. Tonight, the ship is expected to meet #Sailbuoy, carrying #CaPASOS, so data from both platforms can be compared. 📸 Christian Clauwers
