The objective of the training programme was to present expertise from INFOMAR (The Integrated Mapping for the Sustainable Development of Ireland's Marine Resource and the National Centre for Geocomputation (NCG) at Maynooth University and deliver state of the art knowledge transfer of marine remote sensing technologies and knowledge transfer to an emerging cohort of geographers, geoscientists and GIS analysts. The cruise was based on the demonstrations of the Celtic Voyager's remote sampling data acquisition systems with data ground truthing. Grab and core sampling of the seabed was also carried out. The mini ROV wasn't deployed due to weather conditions Student training cruise led by Galway Mayo Institute of Technology in marine remote sensing technologies.
