Dear Colleagues, 

We hope you are still enjoying the summer sunshine and taking some well-earned time to rest. As we continue planning for the coming academic year, we would love to hear any ideas you have for activities or events from the EGU Ocean Sciences ECS Team, so please feel free to reach out at ecs-os@egu.eu. We would also like to highlight that the call for session proposals for the next EGU General Assembly is now open. If you have an exciting idea for a session please do not hesitate to get involved. We particularly encourage ECS members to take part.
 

Best wishes, 
Arianna Olivelli (ECS Representative), Daisy Pickup (Newsletter lead) & the rest of the OS ECS Team
