The 2nd GEOTRACES Summer School was hosted by the International Campus of Excellence of the Sea (CEI · Mar, Cadiz, Spain) on board the Spanish school vessel ‘Intermares’. While society begins to demand greater attention to the oceans, science continues to follow the path that oceanographers have traced since more than a hundred years now. Global climate mobilizations […]
