oceansensing.github.io

Website of C4PO — the Collaboratory for Physical Oceanography at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, live at oceansensing.github.io.

Built with Astro. Static output, no client-side JavaScript except the theme toggle. Every push to main deploys automatically via GitHub Actions.

Editing content

All content lives in Markdown and data files — you never need to touch layout code:

To add…	Edit…
a publication	paste its BibTeX entry into src/data/publications.bib
a presentation	new entry in src/data/presentations.yaml (type: invited / conference / workshop / outreach)
a news post	new .md file in src/content/news/
a person	new .md file in src/content/people/
a research project	new .md file in src/content/projects/
a past project	set status: completed in the project's frontmatter — the Research page moves it to a "Past projects" section automatically
a dataset	new entry in src/data/datasets.yaml
a software tool	new entry in src/data/software.yaml
a CV item	new entry in the matching src/data/cv/<person>/*.yaml file (grants, advising, service, …) — publications and presentations flow in automatically
a member's CV	new directory src/data/cv/<person-id>/ (id matching their file in src/content/people/) with any of the section files — their page appears at /cv/<person-id>/

Site title, navigation, contact info, and the list of author names bolded on the Publications page live in src/config.ts. Colors, fonts, and spacing live in src/styles/tokens.css.

Commit and push to main — the site rebuilds and deploys in about a minute.
