Este curso tiene la finalidad de introducir a la audiencia hacia los conceptos del “El Niño Oscilación Sur (ENOS)”. Se hará énfasis sobre los efectos en sectores de interés público. 

In light of the increasingly diverse and unpredictable weather and climate conditions happened in recent years, it is important to equip Fishermen, Fisheries Extension officers, and related service officials at the district/ municipality government level.  Moreover, academicians working as partners for fishermen and coastal communities also need to be trained with the necessary knowledge and skills to deal with weather uncertainty and climate variability. Recognizing the potential disruptions in food security, particularly in the marine and fisheries sectors, various groups have emphasized the paramount importance of addressing weather and climate issues comprehensively.

In response, we introduce the Weather Field School for Fishermen—an innovative program designed to provide fishermen and officials partners with an in-depth understanding of weather patterns and climate dynamics. By empowering fishermen with this knowledge and extending their skills using marine weather information, we intend to enhance their ability to anticipate and adapt to extreme weather events impacts which in turn will ensure sustainable fishing practices and aquaculture implementation to secure the future of our marine resources. With a curriculum comprising four comprehensive sessions, this weather field school stands as a critical step towards safeguarding both fishermen livelihoods and coastal communities and simultaneously increase the resilience of our marine ecosystems.

Las observaciones de hielo marino y témpanos son una fuente de información sobre lugares remotos como las regiones polares y son de gran utilidad para la cartografía de hielo y la validación de estudios climáticos.

Este curso está diseñado para certificar la capacidad de los observadores en aguas polares desde el proceso de formación del hielo marino hasta la realización de observaciones desde buques o estaciones utilizando el Sistema de Información Glaciología (SIGLAC).  Además, se darán los conocimientos para la interpretación de cartas de hielo y otras herramientas para usos operativos.

At the end of this course, the learner should be able to explore at any particular upwelling site.

• Explore existing upwelling sites using available datasets and increase understanding of the physical-biological interaction dynamic of upwelling region.
  
• Construct integrated data gathering which involved filed data, satellite data, and wind data at any particular upwelling site
  
• Conduct a simple analysis of the integrated data in determining the special characteristics of any particular upwelling site 
  

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.

Este curso tem como objectivo abordar ferramentas utilizadas para visualizar e analisar dados marinhos obtidos através de sensoriamento remoto, com aplicações para as mais variadas áreas das ciências marinhas e ambientais.

O curso decorrerá presencialmente em Maputo, Moçambique, entre 21 a 25 de agosto de 2023, sendo o conteúdo do treinamento abordando:

(1) passo-a-passo para baixar dados de plataformas digitais

(2) ferramentas de visualização dados (mapas e planilhas)

(3) elaboração de gráficos

(4) desenvolvimento de um produto baseado nos conteúdos do curso. 

Os gráficos e mapas obtidos poderão ser usados para análises científicas do estado do mar e para análises de gestão de recursos costeiros. Essas etapas serão realizadas com base em dados livres disponíveis online, dados de satélite de acesso livre e dados localmente colhidos-que os cursantes tenham em mãos; e no uso dos programas QGIS e do programa PANOPLY para elaboração de mapas e gráficos. O curso é gratuíto e está aberto para participantes nacionais e internacionais (até o limite de vagas), de todas as áreas das ciências marinhas e ambientais, com possibilidade de apoio para viagens.

The training course aims to exchange expertise on data management and publication and strengthen bilateral cooperation between KMFRI and VLIZ. The research data cycle will be addressed from start to end, followed by a hands-on session on how to make your data FAIR and prepare them for publication

El curso busca sentar las bases respecto a los conceptos y prácticas relacionadas con carbono azul (mitigación – captura de CO2) y adaptación en ecosistemas marinos y costeros, en el marco de la convención de cambio climático, el plan estratégico Ramsar 2016 – 2024 y los objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible 13 y 14. Busca también una retroalimentación e intercambio de experiencias por parte de todos los participantes de acuerdo a sus conocimientos y lecciones aprendidas en temas de conservación y manejo de ecosistemas marinos y costero o planificación de usos en el territorio.

The ocean provides numerous public benefits yet there is a pressing need to further mainstream Ocean Literacy in governance. Ocean Literacy (OL) is ‘the understanding of human influence on the Ocean and the Ocean’s influence on people’. This course will provide government officials with an overview of the importance of the Ocean. It will showcase the ocean as a source for development, present challenges and introduce tools and approaches for decision-making and governance regarding ocean sustainability.

This is a self-taught course that includes presentations, references and quizzes designed to help learners assess their own learning at regular intervals. In order to successfully complete the course and receive a Certificate, it is a requirement to complete all quizzes ((unlimited attempts allowed).

To enrol, please register on the OceanExpert website (www.oceanexpert.org). Once your OceanExpert account is Approved, you can self-enrol in the course. If you already have an OceanExpert account, you can self-enrol in the course using your OceanExpert user name and password.

The ocean is intrinsically connected to our lives, our coast, our heritage, architecture, and to how our cities are planned. Ocean Literacy (OL) is the understanding of human influence on the ocean and the ocean’s influence on people. 

This course will provide architects, urban planners, marine planners, and designers with an overview of the importance of the ocean and how to consider it when planning and designing. It will showcase examples of how the ocean can be considered in diverse scales, from the design of a small product that can later connect to the ocean with its materials, the design of buildings and infrastructure that interact with the architecture and infrastructure and the overall planning of our cities, which have a deep interaction with our oceanic common systems. This training aims to provide professionals with diverse tools so they can consider sustainable ways to consider the ocean in their decision-making process.
