Marine Data Literacy (MDL) Courses

TRANSLATIONS:  There are >140 very detailed exercises here, almost all of which require annual (or better) reviews and updates.  Altogether they include thousands of annotated illustrations, and there are many cached example files for student use.  Alongside these there are several courses (see below) and a somewhat larger number at the IOC in Ostend, in their OceanTeacher Academy.  Courses tend to be concise lists of sequential exercises, with notes, and they also are subject to review and update cycles.  Writing new courses, by picking your own list of exercises, is also feasible and encouraged. Translating a course would be a piece of cake, for any good student.  Translating the exercises, on the other hand, would be an endless nightmare, because the author works on them all the time. 
COURSES:  Five MDL "courses" are offered here.  Consider them as normal classroom fare, or as self-training you can do on your own.
  • The author, Dr. Murray Brown, is now supported by the Haughton Family Fund to travel to a few 1-week sessions each year, at your site.  All you provide is a classroom with internet access, a projector and students with PCs.
  • For health (and age!) reasons, trips are limited to 1 day's travel (each way), and only 1 week at your site (my cat misses me).  Multinational groups are strongly preferred.  Click HERE to inquire about this.
  • You can also contact the MDL Docents, former students of exceptional merit who have stepped forward to help with training in five languages and most of the courses.  Their travel is not supported, but you can probably make very advantageous arrangements because most of them are starving students or poor government scientists.  And they may already be nearby.
Marine Data Management (MDM)
Marine Geographic Information Systems (MarGIS)

  • 202: How to Make a Local Marine and Coastal Atlas (5 days)

    • High-resolution, ecological/biological, very near-shore, all topics relevant to ICZM, including multiple projections, nautical charts and other specialized coastal resources

    • Static HTML - not WMS - format, due to workshop time constraints

    • Can be tailored to a single area, if given advance notice; otherwise generic scope
