* Ship-board training on the R/V Atlantic Explorer - our goal is to provide numerous days at sea for each participant;
* A program that emphasizes Core Skills required by scientists (e.g., com munication skills, both written and oral, numeracy, information technology, and science management);
* Observational Oceanography training using state-of-the art instrumentation from BIOS faculty and staff involved in the eight BIOS time-series/ observatory programs;
* Observational Oceanography workshops delivered by previous NFPOGO Visiting Professors including Drs. Trevor Platt, Robert Frouin, and others; and
* Guest lectures/workshops by the numerous research scientists who visit BIOS each year for work on the R/V Atlantic Explorer.
