Great opportunity for a NOAA (Federal) internship - seafloor mapping using cutting edge sonar systems for navigation and Geological applications.

I know Thomas well - get in touch with Thomas directly, or me if we can help answer questions.

We are excited to announce that the application for the 2022 Explorer-in-Training Program is now open! Applications are currently being accepted for opportunities between March to September of 2022 and are due February 5 (2-4 week expedition-based opportunities) or February 15 (10-week internship program).

This year, the Explorer-in-Training Program<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Foceanexplorer.noaa.gov%2Fokeanos%2Ftraining.html&data=04%7C01%7Crolande2%40wwu.edu%7C9083ed3876ac4976cb2b08d9d44c0dee%7Cdc46140ce26f43efb0ae00f257f478ff%7C0%7C0%7C637774245389110019%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=AvFc3clRZWaf%2B%2FonrFnZjhS3%2FBHufGtw1ML3Zz9iJa8%3D&reserved=0> will feature two paid internship options and themes: (a) 2 to 4-week expedition-based opportunities (Hydrography & Seafloor Mapping) and (b) 10-week summertime opportunities (Exploration Education, Media, & Science Communication). The 10-week internships give students an experiential opportunity to develop their skills and knowledge through long-term projects supported by NOAA Ocean Exploration mentors. The expedition-based internships provide support for specific NOAA Ocean Exploration expeditions, giving students the chance to contribute to mission efforts while gaining tangible skills that benefit their future pursuits.
