We would like to let you know that registrations are still open for two new POGO-sponsored training opportunities.
"Best practices for biogeochemical ocean observation: instrumentation, operation, quality control" will be a hybrid event with in-person sessions hosted at the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS), Oban, Scotland. The training event will take place on 5-17 June 2022, there will be designed to increase utilization of biogeochemical data sets. The organisers will share experiences with moored and float biogeochemical sensors made by different projects. Some funding is available to support attendance by Early Career Scientists - for travel, registration fees and observations. Click here for more details and to register. Deadline for registrations: 31 March 2022.
"Regional training workshop on observing the coastal and marginal seas in the western Indian Ocean including the Arabian/Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman" will take place on 7-9 June 2022 in hybrid format with three components taking place simultaneously – physical workshop venues in Maputo, Mozambique, virtual attendance and presentation in Kuwait, and global virtual attendance. The workshop will encourage the countries bordering the western Indian Ocean (including marginal seas) to be engaged in coastal observing programs and research as effective partners, and will also identify the training needs and capacity building in the participating countries and provide the opportunity for starting countries to learn from others who have already established programs. Limited grants are available to support the on-site participation. Click here for more details and to register. Deadline for registrations: 25 March 2022.
