Are volunteers welcome?
- pvaldes 6y agoYou would need to add some insurance in that volunteering plan. Doing field work in the ocean is hard and dangerous. For they would be a risk to be sued. ... And the ship job is not so glamourous as you think. Oceanography is fantastic, I enjoyed it a lot, but people shouldn't build a wrong image in their mind. This is hard work.

- pvaldes 6y agoCan you put a link here about that open source programs?
- scibotics 6y agoWe have a GitHub for the institution (https://github.com/whoigit/ https://github.com/whoigit/) and some individual labs have separate GitHub, Bitbucket, and GitLab accounts. For instance, some of the robotics code behind the AUV Sentry is here: https://bitbucket.org/whoidsl/ https://bitbucket.org/whoidsl/
