News & Updates
The ECCO Annual Meeting was held in the Mudd Building of Geophysics and Planetary Science (South Mudd) at the California Institute of Technology (Pasadena, CA) on 25-26 January, 2023.
More than 50 individuals participated in person and online. Opening sessions focused on ECCO's support of NASA science priorities, open science and community engagement. Several sessions highlighted recent science results. Others shared technical developments including progress on future ECCO product releases. The meeting closed with several presentations about "looking ahead" including exciting work related to global carbon, ice, and climate modeling. The agenda for the ECCO Annual Meeting 2023 is here.Presentations from the meetings are accessible from the links below.
