OASIS will host a monthly OASIS Webinar Series: A Community of Practice for the Emerging Uncrewed Surface Vehicle (USV) network for the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS). This webinar series includes a lightning talk signup for 6-minute lightning talks for future USV Community of Practice webinars, which will nominally take place on the second to last Thursday of each month. These can be used for sharing lessons learned, future plans, impacts of assimilating these types of data, data management efforts, industry solutions, and others.

Please register for the webinar series here.
