Course Materials TEMPORARILY not available online due to OTGA technical issues

In collaboration with the Ocean Teacher Global Academy (OTGA) we have prepared an online version of the course with all the lectures grouped into a number of topics. Most of the lectures were also video recorded. As this was our first attempt to document the course proceedings, and because of occasional technical mishaps, there are issues with video quality or completeness in some instances. We hope this will not discourage you from exploring the rich content of these lectures.

About the Training Course

Background and motivation

Ocean properties vary on a number of time-scales and it is necessary to obtain high quality, high resolution (both spatial and temporal) biogeochemical measurements in order to tease out human from naturally-induced changes. In this regard, biogeochemical ocean time-series represent one of the most valuable tools scientists have to characterise and quantify ocean carbon fluxes and biogeochemical processes and their links to changing climate. In recent years, the importance of biogeochemical time-series has been underscored in light of issues of global, regional and local climatic and societal relevance. Ship-based biogeochemical monitoring is critical to understand ocean changes, but these are costly and therefore have limited temporal resolution. Ocean technology has leapt to the aid of scientists by providing them with cost-effective tools that can take measurements of essential biogeochemical variables autonomously, i.e. sensors on autonomous platforms. These autonomous measurements are complementary to efforts carried out by traditional ship-based sampling, with the aim of improving data coverage worldwide. Yet, despite these options becoming more readily available, there is still a gap between the technology and the end-user. This is born out of lack of training, lack of in-depth knowledge, and lack of community coordination. There is also a disconnect between data gathering by autonomous sensors and data quality, which is a major obstacle as these sensors are already being deployed on autonomous platforms in several different projects in many ocean regions. Indeed, the Panel for Integrated Coastal Observation (PICO) pointed out that while some of the required technologies are mature, the implementation on a global scale may be limited by lack of common standards and protocols and/or calibrated and validated algorithms for translating data into useful information.

2015 Sensors Training Course

For all these reasons the IOCCP decided to hold its an international summer course on best practices for selected autonomous biogeochemical sensors with the aim to promote and enhance the utilization of these sensors, and to teach users common best practices of use and data reporting. The need for such course was identified by the scientific community which felt that there exists an urgent necessity to address the usage of autonomous biogeochemical sensors to carry out time-series work, complement existing autonomous platforms, expand our current observational network, and ensure that the data being collected can serve both scientific and societal needs.

In 2015, IOCCP thus completed the International Summer Course on best practices for selected biogeochemical sensors (oxygen, pH, pCO₂, nitrate). This intensive, 10-day Summer Course provided 27 trainees with lectures, hands-on in-situ and laboratory experiences, and informal interactions to improve in-depth knowledge on instrument know-how, troubleshooting, data management, data reduction and quality control. The final outcome of the course was the publication of pdf"A user's guide for selected autonomous biogeochemical sensors". You can read more about the 2015 course from HERE.

2019 Sensors Training Course

Building on the success of the 2015 training course, IOCCP and EU BONUS INTEGRAL Project (Integrated carboN and TracE Gas monitoRing for the bALtic sea) are now organizing a 10-day international training course on "Instrumenting our ocean for better observation:a training course on a suite of biogeochemical sensors." The course will be held on June 10-19, 2019 at the Sven Lovén Center for Marine Sciences, in Kristineberg, Sweden. This course responds to the growing demand of the global ocean observing system and the marine biogeochemistry community for expanding the correct usage and generation of information from a suite of autonomous biogeochemical sensors.

The goal of the course is to train the new generation of marine biogeochemists in the use of a suite of biogeochemical sensors and to assure the best possible quality of the data produced. The workshop will be limited to a total of 28 participants at a PhD / early postdoc level selected through a competitive process at the discretion of the organizers.

This intensive training course will provide trainees with lectures and hands-on field and laboratory experience with sensors (deployment, interfacing, troubleshooting and calibration), will provide in-depth knowledge on data reduction and quality control as well as data management. This course will also provide an overview on the use of remote sensing, modelling and intelligent data extrapolation techniques.

Total cost of attendance at the course is approximately 620 EUR (accommodation - ca. 230 EUR, meals - ca. 190 EUR, registration fee - 200 EUR) + the cost of transportation to and from Kristineberg.

2019 Sensors Training as an Ocean Teacher Global Academy online course

Based on the course proceedings, and in collaboration with IOC-UNESCO IODE's Ocean Teacher Global Academy (OTGA), we have prepared an online version of this course in an attempt to meet the overwhelming demand for such training opportunities. Here we provide a comprehensive set of training materials divided into a number of topics. The course materials include video recorded lectures and/or lecture slideshows in PDF supplemented with links and references to various materials such as manuals, guides and best practices. The course is open to all and is meant to expand the impact of the sensors training beyond the initial group of 28 that we could invite to Kristineberg in June 2019. You can access the course materials from here:

Course Program & Lecturers

Course program and format

The course program was designed around the following specific objectives:

Teach best practices for biogeochemical sensors and selected autonomous measurement systems in general, and for selected types of sensors in particular, with the aim of improving the data currently generated by such sensors.
Provide an overview of existing documentation on best practice across observing system within the selected parameters, with emphasis on existing gaps. Update the Field Guide resulting from the previous training course held in 2015.
Work on data reduction and data quality control practices for sensor data, including specific reporting requirements (e.g. meta-data, calibration, validation, error estimates, formats, etc.).
Present selected methods (statistical modelling, intelligent data exploration techniques) and tools (remote sensing data, mathematical model outputs) for the development of secondary data products (parameter distribution maps, fluxes and budgets).

During the course, we will focus on sensors related to four groups of parameters:

Oxygen - with optode and electrochemical sensors,
Bio-optics - with e.g. fluorometer, backscatter and radiometers,
pH - with a range of sensors available: a) colometric reagent method, b) field effect transistor type sensor, and also c) benchtop surface application,
pCO₂ - with a range of sensors available: a) membrane based sensors with NDIR, b) colorimetric, c) otpodes, and d) underway General Oceanic system.

During hands-on sessions, participants will be divided into groups of 7 participants. Each group will have 1-2 instructor(s) dedicated to the group. Groups will take turns in exchanging sensors used in the practical sessions of the course. Ultimately and regardless of prior experience with any or none of the sensors, each participant will receive basic training for all four sensors that the course focuses on. As preparation for the course, participants are requested to familiarize themselves with the 2017 IOCCP publication pdf"A user's guide for selected autonomous biogeochemical sensors". We will also ask the scientific advisory board to identify relevant best practice documents for each parameter, each relevant observing platform and ideally spanning from sensor calibration, through deployment and data reduction to validation, data quality control and data submission.
