Internship - Processing & Analysis The Ocean Cleanup
Posted on Mar 21, 2026
MISSION TO METRICS
In our mission to rid the world's oceans of plastic, we rely on a thorough understanding of the ocean plastic pollution problem. The research team at The Ocean Cleanup aims to refine our understanding of the sources, transport, and fate of ocean and ocean-bound plastics.
Recently, the research team has developed and proven the Autonomous Debris Imaging System (ADIS), an approach for mapping marine plastic litter that relies on smart cameras to detect plastics worldwide from shipping lanes. We are starting to scale up our mapping effort by deploying these autonomous cameras on a growing number of ships.
We will be hosting an internship to work with the latest ADIS data and perform several case studies. The internship will focus on transforming our processed data into meaningful insights, testing and improving existing workflows.
"With ADIS we are building a marine plastic monitoring network. The findings from your internship will contribute to a more accurate world map of floating ocean plastic, aiding our targeted cleanup" - Robin de Vries, ADIS
RESPONSIBILITIES
You are responsible for the postprocessing and interpretation of ADIS data, after it has been uploaded and preprocessed in our database. Your assignment will likely focus on a set of selected cameras or a geographic region. Other responsibilities include: - Data quality control and assessment of error margins - Collaborating with the ADIS team and the data engineering team to understand and improve the data pipeline - Conducting data analysis, interpretation, presentation and documenting your work in a report PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS - Bachelor's degree, pursuing post-graduate science education - A background in GIS, Geomatics, or similar field. - A curriculum which includes GIS (i.e. ArcMap and/or QGis), (geo)statistics, py...
