The Global Ocean Biogeochemistry Array (GO-BGC) program will be hosting a Float Data and Science workshop on August 17-21, 2026 at the University of Washington, Seattle, USA. The workshop will be a Hack-a-thon type workshop, where small groups will pursue a scientific question/objective using BGC-Argo data. This workshop will include a combination of an overview of BGC-Argo and the GO-BGC program, lectures, working (coding) with float data with your group, and  a tour of the float lab at UW. Participants are expected to be familiar with how to access and utilize BGC-Argo data prior to the workshop, and to have programming experience. Given the hands on team science projects, this workshop will only be in person. Lectures and materials will be made publicly available after the meeting.

To express interest in attending the 2026 workshop, please fill out this form. This will help us gauge interest from the community, and plan material accordingly. A registration form will be sent out at a later time.
