ESSO - Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services
(An Autonomous Body under the Ministry of Earth Sciences, Govt. of India)
POGO – ITCOocean Training Program
on
"Ocean Observations to Societal Applications"
31 October - 05 November 2022
Organized by
International Training Centre for Operational Oceanography (ITCOocean)
ESSO-INCOIS, Hyderabad, India
in collaboration with
Andhra University, Visakhapatnam
This course is being organized to develop capacity of Small Island Developing States (SIDS) from the Indian Ocean and the IO Rim countries incl. GOOS Members, POGO members, etc to making use of ocean observations for societal applications. The training is envisaged to contribute to the proposed outcomes of Ocean Decade on "A Predicted Ocean" and "A safe Ocean”.
- To provide the trainees with extensive theory and hands-on to various ocean observatories
- To impart the know-how from INCOIS experience and case-studies on how to put ocean observations to use for societal benefits
- To equip trainees with expertise on development of operational ocean information and advisory services.
- Knowledge and understanding to the ocean observations and it’s intertwining to the operational information and advisory services.
Target audiences include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Postgraduate students.
- Staff and researchers working on ocean observations and its applications
- Marine industry professionals
- Candidates should have a basic knowledge of marine properties and parameters and preferably be working in institution which has access to marine observations
- Seaworthiness (part of the training i.e., field sampling will be on a boat)
- Working knowledge of English.
- Participants should preferably bring their own laptops.
| Applications are open during: | 16 August – 11 September 2022 |
| Tentative announcement of selected participants: | 19 September 2022 |
