Seagrass meadows are vital ecosystems, supporting biodiversity, improving water quality, protecting coastlines, and capturing carbon — yet the data we need to protect them remains fragmented and incomplete. Join us to explore how combining seagrass datasets on a cloud-based geospatial platform can sharpen our picture of seagrass at every scale. Featuring insights from Associate Professor Lina Mtwana Nordlund (Uppsala University, Sweden), a live demo of the Ocean Data Platform, and an open discussion on building a more connected seagrass data ecosystem.

Are you a student or researcher working with ocean data? Join us for a hands-on work session with the University of Bergen (UiB) and the Ocean Data Platform (ODP)! The Ocean Data Platform, developed by HUB Ocean, provides access to open, quality-assured ocean data—ready to use for analysis, research, and innovation. HUB Ocean works to make ocean data more accessible and actionable, helping us make better decisions for the ocean.

Nullfiskeområdene i Oslofjorden er innført. Ni forskningsinstitusjoner er i gang med en koordinert 10-årig følgeforskningsplan. Men dataene er spredt på tvers av systemer og institusjoner — og ingen felles sted å samle, kombinere og handle på dem. 21. april arrangerer HUB Ocean og Havforskningsinstituttet et webinar der vi tar tak i nettopp det. Vi presenterer følgeforskningens metoder og første data, og viser hvordan Ocean Data Platform og agentiske KI-verktøy kan gjøre fragmenterte datakilder tilgjengelige på tvers.

A 1.5‑hour live webinar introducing practical approaches to working with ocean and geospatial data in the cloud, using the Ocean Data Platform. Designed for scientists and practitioners in the Western Indian Ocean region, the session covers data access, cloud‑based analysis workflows, and emerging tools that support research and evidence‑based ocean management.

Coral reefs support 25% of all marine species — yet the data we need to protect them remains fragmented and incomplete. Join us to explore how combining reef datasets on a cloud-based geospatial platform can sharpen our picture of reefs at every scale. Featuring insights from Steve Schill from The Nature Conservancy, a live demo of the Ocean Data Platform, and an open discussion on building a more connected coral data ecosystem.

After a highly successful first round—where participants from around the world explored the newly updated global seabed substrate maps from dbSEABED - we’re excited to bring this popular webinar back for a second edition specifically for the Geological Surveys across Northern Europe. 

We’re kicking off 2026 with a new live series designed to empower ocean data practitioners. This is your essential guide to what’s new, what’s possible, and what’s next for the Ocean Data Platform.

This session kicked off HUB Ocean’s 2026 “Getting Started on the Ocean Data Platform” live demo series, created to help the marine science community collaborate more effectively on ocean data in the cloud. In this introductory event, we walked through the Ocean Data Platform and demonstrated how it supports end-to-end geospatial ocean data workflows—from data discovery to generating actionable insights for a variety of use cases.

In this session, we’ll highlights how open, equitable, and connected ocean data can turn global commitments into actionable, locally led solutions for ocean and climate health.
