Glimpses from the One Ocean Expedition 2023
This fellowship will be offered in memory of Brian Irwin and to honour him (see Brian’s tribute).
The #OTC25 Training Course consists of two mandatory parts:
A shore-based online component from November 2024 to March 2025 using Ocean Virtual Laboratory: It will consist of 14 modules, each of 2 hours duration, scheduled at the rate of one module per week. Each module will focus on a different Earth Observation satellite measurement: How they work, how different instruments measure different properties, and how we can apply derived data in different ways for ocean science applications. The shore-based course will focus on a virtual Voyage of the ship-based component of the training course.
A ship-based component aboard the tall ship Statsraad Lehmkuhl (https://lehmkuhl.no/en/) during the One Ocean expedition from Tromsø, Norway, to Nice, France, via Reykjavik, Iceland (22 April 2025 – 4 June 2025 sailing 6200 nautical miles in about 35 days).
You can find more information on this opportunity and how to apply on the website of the European Space Agency: https://oceantrainingcourse2025.esa.int/.
