The Ninth ODC International forum for young marine scientists focusing on Ocean-Atmosphere Interactions in Modulating Regional Climate Extremes and Variability was successfully accomplished in the afternoon of 29 October 2024. We had 5 young scholars sharing their research progress,and totally 38 young marine scientists participating the forum.

Dr. KYAW Than Oo ,as the first speaker from Myanmar, shared the topic about Role Of AI In Marine And Oceanography Science. He discussed the potential artificial intelligence (AI),which can be used to address challenges in ocean science and climate change, such as temperature data analysis, data collection from satellites and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), etc. 

Mr. KYAW Than Oo

Dr. Tharana Inu Laksith, as the second speaker from Sri Lanka, shared the report about Study of the Marine Mammal Habitats under the Changing Oceanic Conditions off the Coasts of North-western Sri Lanka. Participants and the speakers discussed the urgent need for conservation efforts to safeguard these habitats due to changing climate conditions.

The ODC center will continue to provide the platform for young marine scientists to have in-depth communication and effective discussion on their perspectives and research progress on marine science development through the organization of various Forum activities. For the events that will follow, the ODC center will make full preparations in terms of the optimization of network platform, selection of topics and exhibition of outcomes, trying to offer an audio-visual banquet for young researchers in the field of ocean and climate.
