Ocean Sampling Day (OSD) is a world event in which scientists collect samples from the ocean at the summer solstice on June 21st. These samplings will help scientists and the general public better understand how the world's oceans work and the complex ecosystems that exist there.
No fewer than 167 locations are now confirmed as sampling will take place simultaneously next week. Here you can see a list of places where participation is confirmed but samples will be taken in several places in the sea around Iceland.
More information can be found at OSD website and on blog OSD. At Matís provides Viggó Marteinsson also further information on the implementation of measurements in this country.
