The IOCCP coordinates a highly diverse set of ocean carbon activities (e.g. ocean acidification, repeat hydrography, underway pCO2, surface and interior ocean synthesis activities, data products, standards and methods) through extensive collaboration with the scientific community via scientific steering committees of related projects, dialogue with national and international organizations, and organizing international scientific workshops, and expert meetings. Some of the national and international research and observation programs that IOCCP works most closely with to promote and document the development and status of a sustained ocean carbon observing system are listed below. This list is by no means exhaustive and projects are listed in no particular order.
