OceanTeacher Global Academy

El curso promueve la apropiación del Decenio de las Ciencias Oceánicas, acercando a la comunidad científica, académica, a funcionarios públicos o privados, a líderes comunitarios y al público a este marco común. A través de cuatro módulos virtuales, asincrónicos; esperamos que el curso motive la formulación de acciones transformadoras que en el marco de las ciencias oceánicas nos lleven al océano que queremos.

The course serves as an introduction to R programming language and software environment (RStudio) for data exploration, cleaning, organizing, analysis and visualization. Relevant oceanographic (physical, chemical and biological) datasets will be used in the training, making it easy to relate, understand and apply the course concept. The course is designed for Early Career Ocean Professionals, hence, no prior experience is required. 

This training course will focus on raising the awareness for the need for Quality Assurance and Quality Control on Marine Ecosystem-based Management. Participants will be introduced to up-to-date best practices and standards as well as the quality assurance and quality control on marine ecosystem observation, and marine instrument measurement testing, specifically on the four important sectors of the whole process of QA and QC, namely sensors, laboratory, data processing, and product application. The course will use case studies relevant for the Western Pacific.
