OCEANOS
The OCEANOS mission is to bring oceanography and STEM opportunities to the Hispanic/Latinos community. OCEANOS means: “Ocean Community Engagement and Awareness using NASA Earth Observations and Science for Hispanic/Latino Students.” Our program focuses on graduating high school seniors and first-generation undergraduate students in Puerto Rico interested in participating in a summer research experience.
About OCEANOS
How can I apply?
Applications are closed for the Summer 2024 program, and will open again at the beginning of 2025 for the next term. Four weeks of classroom and field training will be conducted during the summer and will end with an open activity where students will share learning experiences with academics, government representatives and people from local communities.
Training
Trainings will consist of basic remote sensing image analysis techniques for ocean color and water quality assessment, coupled with the design of do-it-yourself (DIY) instrumentation for collection of in situ water quality parameters, and general benthic characterization of tropical shallow-water ecosystems with NASA’s NeMO-Net application.
