Subject: Invitation to Take Part: Global Survey on Ocean Carbon Samples & Data Sharing
Caution: This email has originated from outside of the organisation. Do not click links or open attachments unless you have verified the sender and content is safe. Thank you.
Dear colleague,
We invite you to take part in an original research survey led by the BIO-Carbon Early Career Ocean Professionals Network (https://bio-carbon.ac.uk/), exploring how ocean carbon–related samples and datasets are collected, managed, and shared across the research community.
This work is motivated by the growing need to better understand data availability in the context of net zero, climate change, and the environmental cost of data collection. While the study is led by early career researchers, it is intended for participation from researchers at all career stages globally.
The survey aims to identify current practices, challenges, and opportunities related to sample and data management, and to better understand what could facilitate sharing of currently unpublished data.
👉 Take the survey here: https://imperial.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bviaL311XeDiPD8
⏱️ Time required: ~15–20 minutes
📅 Deadline: 15 July 2026
Importantly:
- You do not need to hold samples or datasets to take part
- There are no right or wrong answers
- Responses will be anonymous and analysed in aggregate only
By completing this survey, you will contribute to a community-wide assessment of data accessibility. Findings will be shared via a summary report, and a potential peer-reviewed publication, and could help to inform future funding calls and priorities across the field.
We would also greatly appreciate it if you could share this survey with colleagues, collaborators, and relevant networks to help us reach a broad, global and representative group.
If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch with Dr Sarah Cryer (s.cryer@hw.ac.uk) or Dr Cordelia Roberts (c.roberts@imperial.ac.uk)
We recognise how busy everyone is and greatly appreciate your time.
Best wishes,
Dr. Cordelia Roberts and Dr. Sarah Cryer
on behalf of BIO-Carbon ECOP Network
