The International Centre for Education, Marine and Atmospheric Sciences over Africa (ICEMASA) is a scientific joint venture established between South African and French institutions focusing on marine and atmospheric sciences. ICEMASA aims at promoting cooperation in various research topics, ocean circulation, ocean-atmosphere exchanges, marine biogeochemistry, marine ecosystems and fisheries, along the margins of Southern Africa (Atlantic and Indian oceans) and in the Southern Ocean. The vision of ICEMASA is to strengthen capacities among the African scientific community on climate and ocean sciences, to establish a critical mass in order to sustain research and training activities and to gather skills and competence in global change-related impacts on ocean processes and marine ecosystems.
