JANUARY 24, 2026
By Carbon to Sea Initiative
The Ocean Sciences Meeting (OSM26) in Glasgow, Scotland is expecting about 6,000 attendees from 60 countries to gather in order to advance ocean science. Held every two years since 1982, Ocean Sciences Meetings are a place for scientists from across the globe to share the latest research findings, collaborate on solutions, and make lasting partnerships with the goal of advancing scientific knowledge and impacts.
OSM26 will be held at the Scottish Event Campus in Glasgow, a city with a rich maritime history.
To support our partners, Carbon to Sea has compiled this list of events related to ocean-based carbon removal (oCDR). To add to this list, please contact Danny Gawlowski, danny@carbontosea.org.
