The Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) members are responsible for providing scientific guidance to, and overseeing the development, planning and implementation of SOLAS. They are tasked to communicate on ongoing SOLAS activities, encourage the publication and dissemination of SOLAS science results, and communicate with the SOLAS International Project Office regularly on various issues. The term of reference of an SSC member can be found here.
SSC members are appointed by the four SOLAS sponsors, Future Earth, iCACGP, SCOR, and WCRP for a first term of 3 years, renewable once. The SSC members meet physically in average and at least once per year for a 3-day meeting.
2017: Bologna, Italy, 19-21 June.
2018: Victoria, BC, Canada, 2-4 May.
2019: Jozankei, Japan, 26-28 April.
2020: Online, 7-8 Sep, 5-8 Oct, and 11-13 Nov.
