The course takes a broad approach to theoretical, practical and applied aspect of ecosystem dynamics in the marine environment, and will focus on:
- data handling and statistical analysis of experimental and field data, including long-term observational data
- field work and lab analysis ourselves
- theoretical ecological questions of long-term processes
- the use of monitoring data in research and human society
- interactions between marine ecosystems and global change
This is the field part of a 15 hp master course that runs from Nov 2016 to Jan 2017 at Stockholm University and takes a broad approach to theoretical, practical and applied aspect of ecosystem dynamics in the marine environment.
We will spend one week at Askö (see dates above) where students will get hands on experience with designing a marine monitoring program.
Course organizer: Monika Winder, Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences
