Course Description

This course provides students who are seriously interested in marine science with an opportunity for in depth research of selected topics from the currently most progressive areas of marine science. Depending on student interest all of the following areas will be addressed: advances in biological, geological, chemical and physical oceanography and methodology (e.g. genomic approach to assessment of oceanic biodiversity, application of remote technology in marine exploration of the deep sea). Emphasis will be placed on specific topics whose progress carries global significance and may include ocean/atmosphere interactions, sustainable fisheries, integrative aquaculture, invasive biology, etc.
