Li-Qing Jiang is first author on a new metadata template for ocean carbon, ocean acidification, and mCDR data management.
Based on insights from two 2024 workshops, the template builds on the original ocean acidification metadata template developed by Jiang and his collaborators in 2015. The creation of this template was made possible through the contributions of many scientists from the ocean carbon, ocean acidification, and mCDR research communities, particularly those who participated in these workshops. The Carbon To Sea Initiative and the NOAA Ocean Acidification Program (OAP) funded this development.
Jiang is a Research Scientist currently working under cooperative agreement for NOAA- National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). He is an oceanographer specializing in the study of inorganic carbon cycling and ocean acidification, with particular emphasis on data management, quality control, synthesis, and the development of global and coastal oceanographic data products.

Here, the maps show warmer than average water temperatures from January through March 2020, cooler than average from April through June, near average July through September, and slightly warmer than average October through December. The long-term baseline is from the years 2008-2019.]](https://essic.umd.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/rv-chesapeake2.jpg)
