Eurofleets announces a call for applications to a ship-based course for
postgraduate students of marine science. Entitled "Oceanography at Sea:
An Introduction to Practical Aspects of Oceanography," the course will
be held aboard R/V Dana during a cruise from Tromso, Norway to
Hirtshals, Denmark from 20 May to 3 June 2015.
This course offers an introduction to practical aspects of oceanographic
research at sea, providing students experience with oceanographic
sampling and data analysis. It is composed of a combination of lectures,
laboratory work and practical sampling/measurements, and interpretation
of oceanographic data. Training will specifically focus on:
- Identify common pitfalls and necessities with organizing
oceanographic sampling.
- Use a CTD probe for measuring the physical properties of seawater.
- Conduct sampling for surface sediments using a coring system.
- Investigate the abundance, diversity and biogeographic
distribution of plankton
- Conduct measurements of selected chemical properties of seawater.
- Identification, sampling and recording of pelagic and mesopelagic
fishes from a midwater trawl.
- Integrate and interpret the oceanographic data collected.
- Relate the data collected during the cruise to regional
oceanographic phenomena.
At the end of the course the participants will give a poster
presentation based on the data collected and the evaluation of the work
will be credited as a 5 ECTS through the Technical University of
Denmark, MSc program in Aquatic Science and Technology. A total of 18
positions are available for European graduate students (students of all
nationalities enrolled at European universities). All expenses during
the course are funded through Eurofleets.
