ECOMAMA labwork syllabus

Master of Science in Ecological Marine Management

Go to ECOMAMA's welcome page

This syllabus gives you a brief outline on some basic methods used in marine ecological research. Its scope is far from being a complete overview on methodology, but rather to give some possibilities for experimental set-ups and some basic techniques. The text is at present oriented towards practical exercises focusing on the C-cycling in pelagic ecosystems. This syllabus should be extended in the course of future practical exercises and excursions, offering research facilities on different subjects and under other circumstances (e.g. benthic research, population dynamics, in situ measurements). All personal contributions and remarks are of course very welcome.
