Working Group 4 - Training
This WG oversees training and capacity building. Its remit is to ensure that young researchers are adequately trained, and that information about TEI measurement and interpretation is spread to nations were such expertise is lacking. This WG will organize Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSMs) and Training Schools.

Training cruise
Although interrupted by Icelandic ash, two young scientists were funded by the COST Action to take part on an 6-8 day research ‘test’ cruise related to the Dutch programme, ‘GEOTRACES, Global Change and Microbial Oceanography in the West Atlantic Ocean’. This was an opportunity for them to gain experience in all stages of sampling and analysis of trace metals onboard a research vessel. We are very grateful to Hein de Baar and Loes Gerringa for providing this opportunity.
Short-Term Scientific Missions
The Action provides funding for scientists to travel from one COST nation to another to learn skills relevant to marine trace element geochemistry.
