Join us for a week of insight, collaboration, and connection. This event brings together a diverse ocean optics community, including oceanographers, limnologists, optical engineers, Earth observation scientists, resource managers, and policy professionals from across the globe, all united by a shared passion for optics in aquatic environments.
This compelling webinar series was designed to demystify the “hidden curriculum” in marine science—important information that is crucial for career development, but rarely taught in the classroom. The live webinar series is complete but you can watch recorded webinars and find useful resources on the webinar series page.
