Trainings and Courses
Regional ocean-data training and local adoption
HUB Ocean and WIOMSA have used hands-on ODP training to move users from data discovery through management and cloud-based analysis. The programme connects regional capacity building with practical ocean-data workflows that participants can apply in research and marine planning.

Bringing ODP into the university classroom
Around 80 marine ecology students at the University of Bergen are using the Ocean Data Platform as part of their studies, learning practical skills in finding, managing, analysing and working with real ocean datasets through ODP Academy.

Training marine planners to work with ocean data
HUB Ocean is working with the University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) and SeaSketch on a practical online course, Working with Ocean Data in the Cloud (Marine Spatial Planning Edition). The nine-week course, running from 27 August to 30 October 2026, combines self-paced modules with live sessions. It builds on a programme HUB Ocean previously ran in the Western Indian Ocean region.

Exploring the science, data, and policy shaping the future of the ocean’s most vital ecosystems.
Ocean Data Platform: Working with AI-agents
The session focused on practical demonstrations of LLM-assisted workflows, including examples of prototypes built with real ODP data. We also discussed how to verify results and develop reliable, reproducible workflows. This session was led by HUB Ocean’s Director of Innovation, Jo Øvstaas.
Introducing the digital WSC Whale chart.
Learn how the WSC Whale Chart brings together whale protection measures from around the world, and how the Ocean Data Platform by HUB Ocean makes them easier to explore and use. In this live demo, Wei Jun Mun from WSC and Max Romagnoli from HUB Ocean walk you through the digital Whale Chart: how to navigate the map, explore the measures, and access the information behind them.
Ocean Ecosystem Webinar Series 2026 (by HUB Ocean)
Exploring the science, data, and policy shaping the future of the ocean’s most vital ecosystems.
Coral Reef Maps: From Local to Global (with University of Queensland)
Discover how better data can help save our reefs.
In this session, explore how a powerful cloud-based geospatial platform is transforming the way we map and understand reefs—from local ecosystems to a global scale. Hear insights from Chris Roelfsema from the University of Queensland, experience a live demo of the Ocean Data Platform, and join the conversation on building a more connected, collaborative coral data future.
Seagrass Data : From Local to Global (with University of Queensland)
In this webinar, we explore how combining seagrass datasets from many sources on a cloud based geospatial platform can help create a more complete and usable picture of seagrass—from local to global scales. Hear insights from Chris Roelfsema from the University of Queensland, experience a live demo of the Ocean Data Platform, and join the conversation on building a more connected, collaborative seagrass data future.
Coral Reef Maps: From Local to Global (with The Nature Conservancy)
Discover how better data can help save our reefs.
In this session, explore how a powerful cloud-based geospatial platform is transforming the way we map and understand reefs—from local ecosystems to a global scale. Hear insights from Steve Schill from the Nature Conservancy, experience a live demo of the Ocean Data Platform, and join the conversation on building a more connected, collaborative coral data future.
Seagrass Data : From Local to Global (with Uppsala University)
In this webinar, we explore how combining seagrass datasets from many sources on a cloud based geospatial platform can help create a more complete and usable picture of seagrass—from local to global scales. Hear insights from Lina Mtwana Nordlund from Uppsala University, experience a live demo of the Ocean Data Platform, and join the conversation on building a more connected, collaborative seagrass data future.

Discover the Latest Global Seafloor Substrate Maps (with dbSEABED)
In this webinar, dbSEABED unveiled updated global mappings of seabed substrates—now openly available at 0.1° resolution (≈11 km) through the Ocean Data Platform (ODP). And discover how to access and use this dataset on the Ocean Data Platform, enabling users to visualize, filter, and combine seafloor data with hundreds of other ocean datasets.
From Data to Action for Marine Protection (with ProtectedSeas)
Learn how Protected Seas Navigator— one of the most comprehensive global collections of marine protected areas and their regulations — supports decision-making and conservation worldwide. And discover how HUB Ocean brings this dataset to life on the Ocean Data Platform, enabling users to visualize, filter, and combine MPA data with hundreds of other ocean datasets.
