The first day of scientific sampling for the ESA Advanced Ocean Training Course, but also the One Ocean Expedition around the northern hemisphere. The course involves an extraordinary six-week training voyage for next-generation ocean scientists aboard a majestic tall ship that set sail from Tromsø in Norway bound for Nice in southern France.
These upcoming researchers will be taking a deep dive into ocean science, empowering them with skills to harness satellite data for research, innovation and sustainable development – and preparing them to become tomorrow’s leaders and ambassadors for ocean science.
