Abstract: We connect Poisson and near-symplectic geometry by showing that there is a singular Poisson structure on a near-symplectic 4-manifold. The Poisson structure pi is defined on the tubular neighbourhood of the singular locus Zomega of the 2-form omega, it is of maximal rank 4 and it vanishes on a degeneracy set containing Zomega. We compute its smooth Poisson cohomology, which depends on the modular vector field and it is finite dimensional. We conclude with a discussion on the relation between the Poisson structure pi and the overtwisted contact structure associated to a near-symplectic 4-manifold.
