....HYPOX kickoff meeting Bremen
Dr. Kate Larkin
HYPOX Kick-Off meeting, 15th April 2009
An integrated European network of open ocean multidisciplinary fixed-point observatories
FP7 Small-Medium CP: 3.5 M Euro3 years: April 1st 2008 - 2011
Coordinated by:
To integrate and enhance 9 existing deep (>1000 m) ocean observatories into a coherent European network to encompassthe ocean interior, seafloor and subseafloor
ENV.2007.4.1.3.2. Monitoring the ocean interior, seafloor, and subseafloor

To integrate and enhance …………
To perform specific science missions and develop emerging technology that will, in the future, form the basis for sustained monitoring of key environmental features linking water column activities with seafloor and subseafloor e.g.
• pH• mesozooplankton• Deep O2 consumption in the mesopelagic• Benthic community studies• Earthquake/Tsunami detection

Rationale for monitoring Deep in situ Oxygen
Monitoring deep O2 content and its dynamics. To follow a decrease in oxygen concentration related to an increase in temperature (reducing the deep ocean ventilation), linked to climate change
To follow the deep oxygen consumption due to biological activityleading to an increase in CO2 production in the deep ocean, linked to the oceanic carbon cycle and carbon export to the deep ocean.
