The purpose of the virtual Master Class is to train early career COBRA Fellows in deep-sea expedition planning from start to finish. This course will equip Fellows with the skills and tools to successfully design, propose, and execute deep-sea oceanographic field research, with a collaborative, just, equitable, diverse, and inclusive approach. Fellows will also contribute to the development of an open-access “how to” manual based on course materials, receiving co-author credit for this collaborative activity.
