| Formål: |
To provide the students with an understanding of the various environmental implications of human influence and exploitation of the living resources for marine and freshwater ecosystem structure and functioning, and how such effects are linked to the physical and chemical environment. |
| Indhold: |
The course will be based on a number of case studies representing specific applied issues, which will provide the frame for understanding and assessing the potentials, limitations and environmental effects of human activities for marine ecosystem structure and function. The cases will be presented in a scientific context, where an understanding of the underlying basic physiological and ecological processes will provide the foundation for evaluating and predicting environmental effects of human activities on marine systems. |
| Kompetence- beskrivelse: |
The student will achieve the ability to:
make a plan for exploiting novel marine resources and assess potential challenges in the process.
evaluate the potential impacts of different types of algal blooms
provide an overview over the potential effects of climate change on marine ecosystems
assess and predict environmental effects of aquaculture |
