Oral presentations will be organised around common themes in plenary sessions of 1-2 hours. Each oral presentation will be a maximum of 15 minutes, including time for discussion, and you will be able to share your own screen to present your work within the Webex tool. We would like to ask you to prepare a 10–12 minute presentation. Please include 1 slide about knowledge gaps and priorities for next steps (at 1, 5, and 10 year timescales), so this information can feed into the discussion sessions of the workshop. In order to allow us to have a back-up solution for your presentation during the workshop, we encourage you to upload a PPT or PDF version (max size of 20 MB) through the Ocean Carbon From Space 2022 – ConfTool Pro. In the ConfTool, you can navigate to your abstract submission and go to the final upload screen to submit your presentation.

Workshop participants are encouraged to interact during the plenary sessions and a chat function will be available for workshop participants to ask questions. At the end of each oral presentation, the session chair(s) or the participant who asked the question, can read the question to the presenter. Questions that are not discussed during the oral presentation session can be deferred to the discussion session on the same day.

Please note that keynote presentations will be a maximum 30 minutes, including time for discussion. We would like to ask all keynote presenters to prepare 25 minute presentation and to include 1 slide about knowledge gaps and priorities for next steps (at 1, 5, and 10 year timescales). In order to allow us to have a back-up solution for your presentation during the workshop, we encourage you to upload a PPT or PDF version (max size of 20 MB) through the Ocean Carbon From Space 2022 – ConfTool Pro. In the ConfTool, you can navigate to your abstract submission and go to the final upload screen to submit your presentation.

There is the option to pre-record your oral presentation, which can be shown during the plenary sessions of the workshop in case the differences in time zones are problematic. Please contact the organising committee at bicep@pml.ac.uk if you would like to submit a pre-recorded presentation.

During the e-poster sessions, you will have a dedicated breakout room within the Webex tool to present your poster and discuss your work directly with other workshop participants. In the breakout room, you will be able to share your screen to present your poster and the workshop participants will be able to self-navigate into your room to visit your poster presentation. This setup is an effective way to present new research results and ideas, and to maximise interactions with colleagues interested in the topic. The duration of each of the e-poster sessions will be 60 minutes – there will be four of them in total – and sessions will be grouped according to time zones.

To make the most of your e-poster session, we advise you to prepare your e-poster as a PowerPoint or other type of presentation consisting of maximum 5 slides, i.e. we do not expect you to make a traditional 1-page poster. Please prepare 1 additional slide about knowledge gaps and priorities for next steps (at 1, 5, and 10 year timescales), so this information can feed into the discussion sessions of the workshop.

In addition to the e-poster sessions, we would like to make all e-posters available online to the participants of the workshop. This allows for those participants in different time zones to look at the e-posters in their own time. We therefore ask you to submit your e-poster in PDF format by the 6^th of February 2022. We also encourage everyone to record and submit at the same time a short 1–3 minute presentation of their poster. You can upload your e-poster (PDF format with maximum size of 20 MB) and recording (in mp3, mp4 or avi format with maximum size of 230 MB) through the Ocean Carbon From Space 2022 – ConfTool Pro. In the ConfTool, you can navigate to your abstract submission and go to the final upload screen to submit your presentation and recording. The e-posters and recordings will be made available online one week before the start of the workshop.

To avoid missing other e-poster presentations during your session, we encourage you to name one of your co-authors as co-presenter. That will allow each of you to take some time within your session to visit other e-posters.
