Training
Submarine fibre-optic cables generate rich scientific data, but working with that data requires the right skills. SUBMERSE has developed a range of training and capacity-building resources to help researchers and technical specialists get the most out of fibre-sensing data for seismology, oceanography, and marine biology.
