  1. GEOTRACES in the Levantine Basin, Eastern Mediterranean Angelos Hannides & Cecelia Hannides with thanks to Dan Hayes & George Zodiates, Oceanography Center, University of Cyprus (OC-UCY) www.oceanography.ucy.ac.cy/ • OC-UCY is interested in participating in and facilitating GEOTRACES-related activities in the Levantine Basin • The use of the physical oceanographic activities of OC-UCY as a foundation on which to build the biogeochemical operational oceanography component of OC-UCY • A Mediterranean GEOTRACES transect? Discussion tomorrow • A Mediterranean GEOTRACES transect: • Tracing an Atlantic ocean water mass back to the source; • Providing the impetus for regional and local process studies to generate GEOTRACES-compatible data.

  2. Research directions of the Oceanography Center: • Physical operational oceanography: • Cyprus Coastal Ocean Forecasting and Observing System (CYCOFOS) • Forecasting • Remote sensing • Cyprus Basin Oceanography (CYBO) • Cruises and moorings • Autonomous gliders (from 2008) • Data management and information: • Historical data/metadata bases http://www.oceanography.ucy.ac.cy/cycofoshttp://www.oceanography.ucy.ac.cy/bythos
