A key objective of OCB is to train the next generation of ocean scientists and engage early career scientists in OCB and partner program meetings and training courses by providing travel and tuition support, networking, and mentoring opportunities.
Recent examples of early career support and engagement include:
- Annual OCB summer workshop
- OCB scoping workshops
- Gordon Conference in Chemical Oceanography
- IMBeR IMBIZO Meetings (2017, odd years)
- IMBER ClimECO Summer Schools (2018, even years)
- SOLAS Summer Schools
- International Ocean Colour Coordination Group (IOCCG) Lecture Series
- International Ocean Colour Science Meeting (IOCS)
- Cornell Satellite Remote Sensing Course
- Univ. Maine Ocean Color Remote Sensing Course
- Training courses on ocean acidification
- Training courses on biogeochemical sensors
While we do not entertain individual requests for travel support, early career support is a high priority of bulk travel support requests submitted to OCB (see below for current opportunities). OCB strives to highlight the work of students and postdocs at its meetings and provide opportunities for interacting with federal agency managers and other scientists. OCB also maintains an early career position on its Scientific Steering Committee (SSC).
