Seaweed diversity: an Ecuadorian perspective (Tropical East Pacific)

Seaweed diversity: an Ecuadorian perspective (Tropical East Pacific)

To ensure food and job security, food production systems need to be innovated so that they protect the environment, mitigate climate change and become more climate-resilient. This is an opportunity for seaweed culture which captures nutrients and CO2 and does not need freshwater or fertilizers. In Ecuador, edible seaweed is being produced by small farmers, but a sustainable biomass valorization strategy is missing. Moreover, a good knowledge of the existing seaweed species is still lacking.

This course offers an introduction to the diversity, taxonomy and biogeography of the seaweeds of the Tropical East Pacific (Ecuador), in the framework of the project Seaweed-based innovations for a resilient aquaculture and agriculture (SIRENA funded by VLIR-UOS).

Estandarización de las mediciones analíticas requeridas para la estimación del índice de Calidad de Aguas Marinas y Costeras

Estandarización de las mediciones analíticas requeridas para la estimación del índice de Calidad de Aguas Marinas y Costeras

El curso proporciona las herramientas para las mediciones analíticas de las 10 variables empleadas para calcular el Índice de Calidad de Aguas Marinas y Costeras -ICAM, siguiendo un protocolo estandarizado que asegure la calidad y homogeneidad de los resultados, para ser comparables a nivel nacional. Además, se bridarán conceptos básicos, forma de calcular, reportar e interpretar el ICAM, a través de aplicaciones de casos prácticos.

Contributing datasets to EMODnet Biology

Contributing datasets to EMODnet Biology

Training originally set up for EMODnet Biology Partners (June 2020). During the Summer of 2020, this training course was opened up for self-enrolment, allowing all scientists & data managers access to its content. This way, they can use the available material to learn how to format, standardize and quality control their biological data for submission to e.g. the European node of the Ocean Biodiversity Information System (EurOBIS) or any other node within the OBIS network.

Quality Management System Essentials for NODCs and ADUs

Quality Management System Essentials for NODCs and ADUs

This training workshop provides an introduction for NODCs and ADUs involved in the development, implementation and management of a Quality Management System which will assist in the adoption of comprehensive management practices and increased confidence in the quality of their data, products and services.

Train the Trainers: Tools & techniques for teaching about Copernicus marine data

Train the Trainers: Tools & techniques for teaching about Copernicus marine data

The current suite of Earth Observation satellites offer access to an unprecedented amount of information on the marine environment. Concurrently, there is a growing demand in research, governance, and commercial marine sectors, for personnel who can use this data. Training providers across these sectors is essential for maximizing the utility of this data and building necessary capacity. This course offers participants the opportunity to work with other trainers to incorporate the use of Copernicus marine data from EUMETSAT in to their own educational activities. Participants will learn how to use open access resources available through EUMETSAT and the Copernicus programme, and co-develop their own resources with a network of fellow participants and trainers from IODE, EUMETSAT and CMEMS. The course will delivered online only.
