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. |
