2010: Special POGO visiting fellowships for on-board training on an Atlantic Meridional Transect cruise
The Partnership for Observation of the Global Oceans (POGO) and its partner, the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR), announce a special Fellowship for on-board training on an Atlantic Meridional Transect (AMT) Cruise.

One berth has been reserved on the next AMT cruise for the selected candidate. The programme is designed to promote training and capacity building leading towards a global observation scheme for the oceans.

This fellowship programme is open to scientists, technicians, graduate students (PhD) and Post-doctoral Fellows involved in oceanographic work at centres in developing countries and countries with economies in transition.

The selected candidate will have the opportunity to visit either Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) or National Oceanography Centre, Southampton (NOC,S) in the UK, for one month prior to the start of the cruise to participate in cruise preparation and planning; to go on the cruise (12 October – 25 November 2010) and help make hydrological, bio-optical and ecological observations; and after the cruise to spend one additional month at PML or NOCS, learning to analyse the results statistically and interpret them. Core measurements are planned to include phytoplankton, zooplankton and bacterioplankton diversity, 14C primary production, nitrogen cycling, respiration, pCO2, fast repetition rate fluorometry, optics, coloured dissolved organic matter (CDOM), pigments and micromolar nutrients.
Total period of Fellowship: 13 September 2010 – 17 December 2010. Candidates should be available to participate for the full period.

The fellowship will provide a round-trip ticket to the UK and a stipend for living expenses for up to three months stay in the UK; flight and accommodation associated with joining the ship; ship messing fee; seafaring medical and sea survival course.
Deadline for application is 1st June 2010.

About our Network

The location of our Network

The length of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov coast of Ukraine is about 2500 km. In Ukraine a number of research institutes (the leaders are the Marine Hydrophysical Institute (MHI), the Institute of Biology of Southern Seas (IBSS), the Institute of Geological Sciences (IGS), the Ukrainian Scientific Center of the Ecology of Sea (UkrSCES), Southern Scientific Research Institute of Marine Fisheries and Oceanography (SSRIMFO), etc.), companies, NGO’s and municipal administrations are involved or have responsibilities for coastal and marine management and research.

However the links existing at present between and within the communities of coastal science, policy and practice are weak and suffer from fragmentation. Creation of the Ukrainian Network for Coastal Research (UKRNCORA) will contribute to improvement of the policy preparation and decision making of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.

Ukraine will create opportunities to introduce experience with coastal policies and practices of the ENCORA network. Dissemination and exchange of information, knowledge, experience and research results regarding coastal zones will contribute to harmonization of coastal policies and management practices around the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.
