Plenary sessions
Plenary sessions are aligned with the themes of the SOLAS 2015-2025 Science Plan and Organisation and comprise of an overview talk, given by an invited keynote speaker (25 min presentation + 5 min questions), followed by 15 min presentation + 5 min questions. Speakers for these talks were selected from the pool of abstracts submitted by participants willing to give an oral presentation.
Core theme 1
Greenhouse gases and the oceans
This session is dedicated to the most significant long-lived greenhouse gases, such as CO2 , CH4 and N2O and their natural cycles in the oceans and troposphere, which interact with anthropogenic inputs and lead to climatic feedback and environmental impacts.
Core theme 2
Air-sea interface and fluxes of mass and energy
This session is dedicated to oceanic and atmospheric processes, driven for instance by waves, bubbles or surfactants, which act upon the air-sea interface and serve to regulate the fluxes of mass and energy between the coupled ocean-atmosphere system.
Core theme 3
Atmospheric deposition and ocean biogeochemistry
This session is dedicated to the broad range of particles of continental origin the ocean receives from the atmosphere. Atmospheric deposition impacts vast regions of the oceans and result from both natural processes and human activities.
Core theme 4
Interconnections between marine ecosystems, aerosols, and clouds
This session is dedicated to the interconnections between marine ecosystems, aerosols, and clouds, and the understanding of the system they form as a whole, in which change in one component is manifested in another.
Core theme 5
Ocean biogeochemical control on atmospheric chemistry
This session is dedicated to the ocean emissions of aerosols and reactive gases, such as organic and oxygenated organic compounds, and sulphur-, nitrogen- and halogen-containing compounds and their impacts on atmospheric photochemistry, air quality and stratospheric ozone.
Special sessions
Integrated Topics
These three sessions are dedicated to oceanic systems where integrated studies are required and urgent. They are regional, high sensitivity and high-priority systems, for instance the Upwelling systems, Polar oceans and sea ice and the Indian Ocean.
SOLAS Science and Society
This session is dedicated to SOLAS research with socially relevance and to activities, which have a direct impact on society, such as air quality, human health, marine resources and climate regulation.
Climate Intervention
This session is dedicated to climate intervention approaches, including carbon dioxide removal, solar radiation management, observational research and model predictions, as well as to assessing their impact.

Social events
The hybrid SOLAS Open Science Conference consists of plenary talk sessions, discussion sessions, poster sessions, and networking events.Online participants will be able to join via Hubilo, our virtual event platform, which allows streaming all sessions, enables live interaction with speakers and presenters, and networking.
Plenary sessions are aligned with the themes of the SOLAS 2015-2025 Science Plan and Organisation and comprise of an overview talk, given by an invited keynote speaker (25 min presentation + 5 min questions), followed by 15 min presentation + 5 min questions.Discussion sessions will be held in plenary, with 2 sessions every day on 26-28 September 2022. Poster sessions will take place onsite and online on gather.town
