Before we usher in 2023, the last ECOP Programme webinar of 2022 will share some of the fantastic opportunities available to help us in our research as early career ocean professionals. ESRI is one of the world’s premier GIS organizations and has the answers to most of our questions and challenges in the coming year as we plunge deeper into the UN Ocean Decade, towards our aspirations to reach the 7 Decade Outcomes and achieve “the science we need for the Ocean we want” by 2030. Join us to listen to Keith Van Graafeiland, as he guides us through the sea of knowledge and opportunities open to us via ESRI. We will be developing some specialized training courses around some of the topics Keith will share with us, so stay tuned, and share your ideas on how you think the information may be useful to you, your organization, and your specific training needs.
