| Course contents : | During the first year of Master, the students are invited to take part in a training course of ground during 2 weeks. This training course is organized at the Research station Underwater and Oceanographical STARESO (Calvi-Corsican).
Practical work of a series of matters given during the year (i.e. marine ecology, physical oceanography, data processing, biological oceanography, chemical oceanography...) is completed during this training course.
The program of the training course is based on the study of a particular phenomenon (i.e. variation in the vertical structure of the water column). This phenomenon will be approached by the means of the various disciplines of oceanography (physical, chemistry, biology...) in 4 stages. |
|
| Course objective : | The aim of this integrated placement is to demonstrate that the study and understanding of a phenomenon or a process in the marine environment can only be done in a multi-disciplinary way. The student will encounter techniques and materials used during oceanographic operations. |

|
| Written notes : | All the summaries: general presentation of the site, techniques and material used, biocenoses, ... are available on Powerpoint. |
|
| Assessment : | Students will be individually assessed on their participation during the placement. A written report, carried out in a group, is also graded. |
