ESA Ocean Synergy Training Course 2025 (#OTC25) and the One Ocean Expedition

Plymouth Marine Laboratory joins the Trevor Platt Science Foundation to announce the sponsorship of a trainee from a developing country to participate in the #OTC25, through the Trevor Platt Science (TPS) Fund at PML. One of the successful applicants selected for the #OTC25 training course will be sponsored by the PML-TPS Fund.

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^nd April 2025 – 4^th June 2025 sailing 6200 nautical miles in about 35 days).
