the major objective to provide an attractive and productive environment for scientists from Europe and all over the world to gain progress in the various ocean science disciplines and have beneficial interactions with other fields of geosciences. For that purpose, we organise with the teams of conveners the ocean science part of the program of the scientific conference that his held every year during the <span class="caps">EGU</span> General Assembly. We give special attention to topics cross-cutting with those of other divisions. We recognise deserving colleagues in various stages of their careers with our Award program: the division awards the Fritdjof Nansen Medal to mid or full career scientists and the Outstanding Early Career Scientists Award for researchers in the early stages of their careers. We also award prizes to outstanding student posters at every General Assembly. The division maintains very strong links with the <span class="caps">EGU</span> Publications Committee, and especially with the board of editors of the open access journal Ocean Science (OS). The division also collaborates with other <span class="caps">EGU</span> committees in the organisation of relevant topical conferences and summer schools.</p> <div class="headline"> <h2>Latest posts from the OS blog</h2> </div> <article class="media"> <img role="presentation" alt="" class="img-fluid img-thumbnail" src="https://www.egu.eu/media/news/blogmessages/2024/11/12/1301b082-0181-461a-bf34-e05d5186dc46.png.120x120_q90_crop-smart_upscale.png" srcset="https://www.egu.eu/media/news/blogmessages/2024/11/12/1301b082-0181-461a-bf34-e05d5186dc46.png.120x120_q90_crop-smart_upscale.png 1x, https://www.egu.eu/media/news/blogmessages/2024/11/12/1301b082-0181-461a-bf34-e05d5186dc46.png.240x240_q90_crop-smart_upscale.png 2x" loading="lazy"> <div class="media-body"> <a class="h4 external" href="https://blogs.egu.eu/divisions/os/2024/11/12/sailing-for-science-how-data-from-sailing-races-advances-ocean-research/">Sailing for Science: How Data from Sailing Races Advances Ocean Research</a> <ul class="list-inline mt-1"> <li class="list-inline-item"><i class="fab fa-fw fa-wordpress"></i> <a class="external" href="https://blogs.egu.eu/divisions/os/">Ocean Sciences</a></li> <li class="list-inline-item"><i class="far fa-fw fa-calendar-plus"></i> posted 2 weeks ago</li> </ul> <p>The Vendée Globe began on November 10th, with 44 participants embarking on the world’s toughest sailing race. This non-stop, single-handed round-the-world yacht race challenges skippers to circumnavigate the Southern Ocean. The race starts in France, traverses the North Atlantic, and heads directly into the Southern Ocean. Despite taking place during the austral summer, the conditions remain extreme, with waves reaching towering heights.

It absorbs about 25% of the CO2 emissions from human activities, playing a crucial role in mitigating the pace of climate change. But what happens when we lose sight of this process? Because this is precisely the reality we are beginning to face.
