OceanTeacher Global Academy

This course is an introduction to the Ocean Best Practices System. A best practice is a methodology that has repeatedly produced superior results relative to other methodologies with the same objective; to be fully elevated to a best practice, a promising method should be adopted and employed by multiple organizations.
This short course provides an overview of the importance and relevance of using and sharing Ocean Best Practices and Standards, as well as on how to create, submit, share and search for Best Practices in the Ocean Best Practices System (OBPS) repository. This course is intended for University students, researchers and ocean practitioners in general. It does not provide a certificate.

[PT] Este curso online irá familiarizar os participantes com o Planejamento Espacial Marinho e Costeiro (PEMC), os benefícios de sua aplicação e os resultados que podem ser esperados. O curso foi elaborado para apresentar as etapas básicas do processo, o envolvimento das partes interessadas e suas responsabilidades, ferramentas e técnicas, e o contexto internacional.

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.

The purpose of this training workshop is to share knowledge, skills, resources and training techniques so that attendees are able to independently train others on available Earth Observation (EO) data and tools. During the course, participants will work with others to create their own (learning) artefacts. This is an interactive knowledge exchange workshop, not a technical training event.

Aims and objectives: 

• To support marine and earth observation educators in their training activities, by sharing Copernicus Marine data resources and exchanging experience of different learning approaches.
• To foster a community of marine EO educators who can collaborate in future.
• To co-create learning artefacts that can used in participants own training activities and more broadly by the Earth observation community.

O curso decorrerá em três módulos: (1) instrumentos e técnicas de recolha de dados in situ; (2) acesso de dados (oceanográficos) gratuitos em linha; e (3) desenvolvimento de um produto/serviço baseado nos conteúdos do curso.

El curso proporciona conocimientos básicos acerca de los Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG) aplicados en un caso de estudio en el que se determinarán zonas de conservación usando el software ArcGIS. El curso incluye temas como: métodos de adquisición de datos, técnicas de procesamiento, análisis espacial e interpretación de datos, creación de productos basados en los resultados de los análisis y publicación con herramientas online de ESRI.

Descripción general del componente virtual

El cambio climático es una de las mayores amenazas del planeta y muchos de los países de Latinoamérica ya sienten sus efectos. IPCC (2019) señala que ya se han observado impactos en los sistemas naturales y humanos como consecuencia del calentamiento global, muchos de los ecosistemas terrestres y oceánicos y los servicios que proveen ya han cambiado debido al calentamiento global.

Bajo este contexto, el curso busca la homologación de conceptos asociados al tema de cambio climático y facilitar la comprensión sobre las consecuencias previstas del cambio climático en zonas costeras y sobre los servicios ecosistémicos, que opciones de adaptación y mitigación hay disponibles para las zonas costeras y cuáles son los principales desafíos y oportunidades de acción contra el cambio climático.

Este curso en línea permitirá a los participantes comprender los conceptos y estrategias para evaluar el impacto de la contaminación por plásticos en los ecosistemas marino-costeros y en el océano.

Este curso online irá familiarizar os participantes para compreender os conceitos e estratégias para avaliar o impacto da poluição por plástico nos ecossistemas marinho-costeiros e no oceano. 

El curso proporcionará los conocimientos y las herramientas a técnicos de la región en y análisis químico de acidez, alcalinidad total y carbono inorgánico disuelto de las aguas costeras, siguiendo un protocolo estandarizado en la región para el reporte del indicador 14.3.1 del ODS 14.

El curso proporcionará los conocimientos y las herramientas necesarias para que los técnicos y encargados del informe del indicador ODS 14.3.1.,  puedan realizar el reporte siguiendo el protocolo estandarizado de UNESCO-COI.

A nivel regional el Curso busca consolidar la Red de Investigación de Estresores Marinos - Costeros en Latinoamérica y El Caribe - REMARCO en la medición del sistema de carbonato.

Curso teórico-práctico en línea que aborda los aspectos científicos, técnicos y jurídicos necesarios para determinar el límite exterior de la plataforma continental

The course is aimed to provide an introduction to operational oceanography, discovery and use of operational ocean data products and services, hands on for visualizing the in situ, remote sensing and model derived data products.

We all depend on the ocean, yet Ocean Literacy needs to be further enhanced worldwide. Formal and non-formal educators are key to advance ocean sustainability. Ocean Literacy (OL) is ‘the understanding of human influence on the ocean and the ocean’s influence on people’. It is not only about increasing awareness on the state of the ocean, but it is also about providing tools and approaches to transform ocean knowledge into actions that promote ocean sustainability.

This course will provide a general overview of the importance of the ocean, the challenges it faces, and ways forward for sustainability. It will introduce the concept of Ocean Literacy, describe its basic principles, tools and approaches, and provide understanding on how educators can incorporate Ocean Literacy in their work.
